Backcountry Access

Float 32 Airbag

The Float 2.0 System is an advanced airbag technology developed by Backcountry Access that significantly increases your chances of survival in an avalanche. It uses a compressed air cylinder to inflate a large airbag, which helps keep you on the surface of the snow during an avalanche, reducing the risk of being buried. This system is essential for anyone venturing into backcountry areas where avalanches are a concern.

PU Coating, or polyurethane coating, is applied to the fabric of the backpack to enhance its water resistance and durability. This means that the backpack can withstand exposure to moisture and rough conditions, making it ideal for outdoor activities like skiing or snowboarding. The 330D nylon mini ripstop and 420D oxford nylon materials, combined with the PU coating, ensure that your gear stays dry and protected during your adventures.

The diagonal ski carry feature allows you to securely attach your skis across the back of the backpack at an angle. This method provides better balance and mobility while hiking or climbing, making it easier to navigate challenging terrain. It’s particularly beneficial for backcountry skiers who need to carry their gear efficiently without compromising their movement.

A hydration compatible backpack is designed to hold a hydration reservoir, which is a water bladder with a drinking tube. This feature allows you to stay hydrated on the go without needing to stop and dig out a water bottle. It’s especially useful for long days in the backcountry, where access to water may be limited, ensuring you can maintain your energy and performance.

The fleece-lined goggle pocket is specifically designed to protect your ski goggles from scratches and damage while also preventing them from fogging up. This feature is crucial for skiers and snowboarders who need to keep their goggles safe and ready for use in varying weather conditions. It ensures that your vision remains clear and unobstructed, enhancing your overall experience on the slopes.

The combination of the Float 2.0 System, PU Coating, diagonal ski carry, hydration compatibility, and fleece-lined goggle pocket creates a backpack that prioritizes safety, comfort, and convenience. These features work together to ensure that you are well-prepared for the challenges of backcountry skiing, allowing you to focus on enjoying your adventure while minimizing risks associated with the environment.
