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.
