Backcountry Access FLOAT 36 AIRBAG Pack
The Float 36 is designed for avalanche professionals, guides and dedicated backcountry riders carrying their essentials. The 36 includes huge storage volume, an internal frame, load lifters, back panel access, internal shovel/probe pockets, waist belt pockets, ski and snowboard carry system, lined goggle pocket and hydration sleeve.
BCA's Float avalanche airbags — both affordable and easily refillable — are designed to minimize excavation time by preventing burial. A small 2,700-psi (186 bar) compressed-air cylinder, single-chamber 150-liter airbag, and super efficient venturi system comprise the system. The air cylinder is refilled by several means: Bring it to a limited number of refill centers in the Lower 48 states, Alaska and Canada or send an unpressurized cylinder to BCA for an exchange that costs about $20.
