What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've used this on shorter tours where I still needed full avy gear, and the layout makes a big difference. Everything has its place, and it's easy to access without digging around."Moving through the backcountry means staying organized without slowing down, and the Black Diamond Helio 22L Backpack is built to keep everything right where we need it. Whether we're heading out for a quick tour or navigating more technical terrain, it keeps gear accessible and the load streamlined. A dedicated avy tool compartment separates shovel and probe from the main storage, making it faster to access critical gear when it matters. The main compartment uses a two-way zipper for easy entry, while additional pockets keep smaller essentials organized. The snow-shedding back panel reduces buildup and improves breathability during movement. Designed with versatility in mind, it includes dual piolet carry, A-frame ski carry, and removable straps for diagonal ski or snowboard carry, adapting to a range of backcountry setups.
