A modern take on a classic Dakine design

The 96 Heli Street is based on one of the designs that helped shape Dakine’s backpack range. The updated version keeps the practical character of the original while adding features that make it more suitable for everyday city use.

The 28-litre capacity gives you enough room for work, college, travel or a full day out, while the narrow profile helps keep the backpack manageable when moving through the city.

Practical storage for everyday essentials

The main compartment is accessed from the top and includes an internal laptop sleeve. A separate front zip compartment provides additional storage, while a quick-access side pocket keeps smaller essentials close at hand.

The fleece-lined sunglasses pocket helps keep lenses separate from harder items, while the expandable zippered bottle pocket provides dedicated external storage for a drink.

Comfortable carry and extra attachment options

A foam-padded back panel with breathable mesh helps improve comfort and airflow during longer periods of wear. Ergonomic adjustable shoulder straps and an adjustable sternum strap help keep the backpack stable when you are on the move.

External MOLLE webbing points give you additional options for attaching compatible accessories or extra gear outside the main compartment.

Why choose the Dakine 96 Heli Street 28L?

The 28-litre capacity gives you useful everyday space. It is suitable for commuting, college, travel and days when you need to carry more than just the basics.

Your laptop has its own internal sleeve. This keeps electronics separate from the rest of the contents.

Several external pockets make smaller items easier to reach. You can organise accessories without opening the main compartment every time.

The fleece-lined pocket protects sunglasses from harder items. It gives glasses a softer, separate storage area.

The bottle pocket expands when needed. Its zippered design keeps it compact when not in use.

MOLLE attachment points increase versatility. They allow compatible accessories or additional gear to be attached externally.
