Two seasons on my Dakine Heli pro, and it still looks and works like new. Has a pocket for installing a hydration pack, but I just carry water bottles and gatorade with me. Lots of nice packs out there if you can check them out in person to compare your better off, snowboarding shops seem to be a good place to look.
backpack????

I have an Osprey Helios that I have used for 5 years. Works great and is still in perfect shape. My ABS Freeride is falling apart after 1 season.

I ride with the older model... a little small, but still works nice. Doesn't get hung up on trees/etc either.
Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes a pack designed for larger people?? I am barrel-chested and have very broad shoulders...The packs that I have tried on don't seem to fit....If they DO fit, the pack itself doesn't sit flat on my back because of the angles that the straps are forced to endure. For reference, try putting on a jacket that's 3 sizes too small (unzipped of course) and try to grab the handlebars- The bottom rear of the jacket will climb up your back. It's kinda like that. Any ideas??
HMK backcountry pack, shovel (with saw), and probe kits are on sale for $150. Saves you $50 and it's a killer kit. pm me for details
all kinds of combos of colors...great pack..great sled friendly company.
I am hesitant to buy products from the ski industry because some times the profits are put back into keeping us from riding. 100% assure you that ZERO HMK money is ever put towards anti-sledding or anti motorized land use causes. Can you say that about some of the other brands listed?

No greenies !
Nice point F-Bomb we should all try to keep this in mind when making our purchases, not trying to get all wacked-out about it but no sense in giving to the organizations that try to shut us down.

HMK. I like it a lot! will be looking into a hydro this year for it.
i used to use the dakine heli pro now i use the ogio flak jacket
Ogio! Great stuff!
There are a lot of good packs out there. I am going with the Skinz Protective Gear pack this winter. The True Adventure Gear packs are also nice. Ogio and Dakine both make a very nice pack. The Klim pack is nice, but on the small side.
As stated it's nice to see them in person. They all fit a bit differently and have different features. We all have different needs when it comes to this.
