What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I’ve been using this on bigger days where I need extra layers and gear, and it handles the load really well. The organization stands out, especially having quick access to avy tools and separate storage when needed."When the day calls for more gear and longer travel, we need a pack that keeps everything organized without slowing us down, and the Black Diamond Helio 38 Backpack is built for those bigger objectives. Whether we’re touring deep into the backcountry or managing gear for a full day in the mountains, it keeps everything secure and within reach.A dedicated avy tool compartment allows fast access to shovel and probe, while multiple entry points—including back panel and top access—make it easy to reach the main compartment without unpacking everything. The snow-shedding back panel improves comfort by reducing buildup, and the padded waist belt with pockets keeps smaller essentials accessible. With options for A-frame ski carry, diagonal carry, snowboard carry, and dual piolet attachments, it adapts easily to changing terrain and technical needs.
