I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

2.0 Float 22 Avalanche Airbag

2.0 Float 22 Avalanche Airbag

Description

Float 22 Avalanche Airbag 2.0

Research has shown that wearing an airbag increases your chances of surviving an avalanche by twice. However, the weight, bulk, and cost of most airbags make them less accessible. Backcountry Access solves these issues with the Float series.

The Float 22 Avalanche Airbag 2.0 is the perfect pack for morning tours and extended through-the-gates adventures.

The Float airbag system is lightweight, affordable, and easy to use, making it a potential life-saver. With a compressed air cylinder, it quickly inflates a 150-liter airbag that keeps you close to the surface during a slide, minimizing rescue time and reducing the impact of debris and obstacles.

Backcountry Access has an extensive network of cylinder refill and exchange centers, ensuring that you can easily replace your cylinder after deploying the airbag.

The Float 22 Avalanche 2.0 provides ample space for your essentials, climbing skins, snacks, extra layer, and avalanche safety gear. It includes dedicated sleeves for your shovel and probe, allowing you quick access during emergencies. It also features diagonal ski carry and a snowboard carry attachment (sold separately) for the convenience of mountaineers and snowboarders.

Details:

  • Mid-sized airbag pack for essential items and preparedness
  • 150-liter airbag deploys rapidly for flotation during an avalanche
  • Integration for BC Link radios for better group communication
  • Diagonal ski carry and vertical snowboard carry for easier hiking
