INTEGRATED RECCO TECHNOLOGY
RECCO® Technology
What Does It Do?
The Heli 2.0 Pro features integrated RECCO® technology, making the wearer searchable by professional rescue teams equipped with RECCO detectors in the event of an avalanche or outdoor emergency. The passive reflector requires no battery or activation.
Please remember RECCO® technology is an additional safety tool and is NOT a replacement for an avalanche transceiver. When travelling in freeride/ or backcountry terrain, appropriate training, decision-making and avalanche safety equipment remain essential.

HELI 2.0 PRO - 20L vs 26L
which size should you choose?
Choose the Heli 2.0 Pro - 20L if:

Compact, low-profile and versatile. Best for resort, freeride, sidecountry and lighter missions.
Choose the Heli 2.0 Pro - 26L if:
You regularly carry additional layers, food or equipment, spend longer away from the lift system or simply prefer extra packing capacity.
The 26L gives you more room while retaining the technical Heli carry systems and mountain-focused organisation.
More capacity for longer days, extra layers and more equipment without moving into a large touring pack.
