Black Diamond Helio 38 Pack

The Black Diamond Helio 38 Backpack is the perfect companion for guiding, hut-to-hut traverses, and full-day missions in the backcountry. Constructed from 100% recycled nylon with a 100% polyester liner, this touring pack balances durability with a genuinely lightweight build at just 1180g. The 38-litre capacity is ideal for all-day tours and overnight adventures, with smart storage solutions including a zippered side pocket for a 1L water bottle and a dedicated lower pocket for skins or crampons. Whether you're skinning uphill or skiing back down, the Helio 38 keeps your essential ski touring kit organised and accessible, making it a genuine jack-of-all-trades for backcountry skiing and splitboarding adventures across the UK and beyond.

Function meets simplicity in the Helio 38's feature set. A separate avalanche tool compartment with a large zip opening maximises internal space and contours the pack when your shovel is stored blade-up, while a breathable monomesh back panel sheds snow effortlessly. Back panel and top zip access make reaching gear in the main compartment quick and easy, aided by an internal accessory pocket. Adjustable load-lifter straps and a sternum strap dial in fit, while the padded stretch-fit hip belt adds a zippered pocket and gear loop for essentials. Carry options abound too, with A-frame and diagonal ski carry, snowboard carry, rope carry, and dual piolet attachment covering more technical ski touring objectives.
