Why Take an Avalanche Safety Training (AST) Course

Practicing With Your Avalanche Rescue Gear: 4 Core Skills

The BCA Float 42 Avalanche Airbag 2.0 is their burliest pack, specifically designed for pros, ski patrollers, guides, and those heading out for long tours and overnights. The BCA Float 42 Avalanche Airbag features their 2.0 air cylinder and engine, which is nearly 30% smaller and 15% lighter than their Float 1.0 engine. All the Float 2.0 system elements sit entirely separate behind a zippered covering, freeing up valuable space in the main compartment for gear, first-aid kit, and supplies. The Float 42 150-liter airbag not only creates buoyancy and decreases your burial depth but also protects your head and neck from trauma in an avalanche. All BCA Float packs include integration for BC Link™ Radios, a hydration sleeve, dual-zippered shoulder straps, and a molded back panel.
