Why We Like The Backcountry Access Float 42L Airbag Backpack
The Float 42 Airbag Backpack is the largest of Backcountry Access' avalanche airbag line, designed to give for longer missions in the backcountry. Despite the bigger overall size, the included Float 2.0 airbag system is 15% lighter than the previous model and about 30% smaller, meaning you can fit more gear in the pack, and features an ergonomic trigger mount so you can feel confident deploying the airbag in an emergency, no matter if you're left or right-handed.

Faster Power. Lighter Airbag Pack.
Avalanche airbag packs powered by the Alpride E2 supercapacitor system.
Supercapacitor Airbag Engine
The Alpride E2 system stores energy in supercapacitors to power a radial turbo compressor. This electric system deploys quickly and performs reliably in cold backcountry conditions.
Carry the Full Backcountry Kit
Integrated carry systems support skis, snowboard, ice axes, rope, helmet, hydration, and BC Link radio.
Access Gear Without Removing Pack
The Side Stash pocket allows quick access to hydration, gloves, eyewear, or skins while staying in avalanche terrain.
Smaller. Lighter. Same Protection.
The E2 engine is 40% smaller and 11% lighter than the previous E1 system while maintaining a 162-liter avalanche airbag.
