Backcountry Access

Float 25L Turbo Airbag Backpack

The Float 2.0 Airbag System is a lightweight and compact airbag technology developed by Backcountry Access (BCA) specifically for avalanche safety. When deployed, the airbag helps keep you on the surface of an avalanche, significantly increasing your chances of survival. Its smaller size makes it easier to carry without compromising on safety features, making it an essential tool for anyone venturing into avalanche-prone areas.

The Ergo Trigger is an intuitive deployment system designed for quick and easy activation of the airbag. It can be attached to either shoulder strap of your backpack, ensuring that you can access it regardless of how you’re wearing the pack. In an emergency, being able to deploy the airbag swiftly can be crucial for your safety, making the Ergo Trigger a vital feature for backcountry adventurers.

The BC Link Radio is a specialized communication device that allows you to stay in touch with your group while skiing or snowboarding in remote areas. It features a secure carry system within the backpack, ensuring that the radio is easily accessible when needed. This enhances safety by allowing for real-time communication, which is essential for coordinating movements and responding to emergencies in the backcountry.

The A-frame Ski Carry method involves attaching skis to your backpack in an "A" shape on either side. This configuration helps distribute weight evenly, making it more comfortable to carry your skis while hiking or traveling in the backcountry. It also keeps the skis secure and out of the way, allowing for easier movement and navigation through challenging terrain.

"Hydration compatible" means that the backpack is designed to hold a hydration reservoir, which allows you to drink water easily while on the move. This feature is particularly beneficial for long backcountry trips where access to water may be limited. Staying hydrated is crucial for maintaining energy and focus, making this feature a must-have for serious outdoor enthusiasts.

Each of these features—Float 2.0 Airbag System, Ergo Trigger, BC Link Radio, A-frame Ski Carry, and hydration compatibility—enhances safety, comfort, and convenience during backcountry activities. Together, they ensure that you are well-prepared for the challenges of the wilderness, allowing you to focus on enjoying your adventure while minimizing risks. Investing in gear with these features can significantly improve your overall backcountry experience.
