BCA Float E2 25L Airbag Backpacks

Our slimmed-down Float E2 avalanche airbag designed for backcountry skiing and snowboarding. With plenty of space to carry all the essentials and a low-profile ideal for lift-accessed freeriding and heli skiing, this is the perfect mid-volume, do-it-all pack. Waterproof coated nylon exterior keeps your gear dry in any weather, while the innovative Side Stash pocket provides easy access to skin track essentials like a water bottle or skins without having to take the pack off in avalanche terrain. A dedicated rescue tools compartment ensures efficient access to your shovel and probe, and the Back Stash zip allows you to stow your radio and other accessories close at hand. Featuring our molded “cooling fin” back panel for comfort while touring and riding.

• Alpride E2 Supercapacitor System
• Side Stash pocket
• Back Stash accessory zip

Creating buoyancy and helping you float to the surface, the 162-liter airbag not only decreases your burial depth but also protects your head and neck from trauma in an avalanche. Our Float E2 avalanche airbags use the Alpride E2 supercapacitor to store energy that powers the compressor upon deployment. Supercapacitors store and release energy based on magnetic energy rather than chemical reaction, making their performance fast and reliable in cold temperatures. The E2 system is TSA approved for hassle-free airline travel.

AA BATTERIES FOR ADDITIONAL DEPLOYMENTS

In addition to the supercapacitor storage, you can install two AA batteries to allow for additional deployments in the field. The batteries also help keep the supercapacitors at full charge when not in use.

• AA alkaline batteries allow for one additional deployment and are capable of keeping the system charged for up to three months of normal use.
• AA lithium batteries allow for three additional deployments and are capable of keeping the system charged for up to five months of normal use.

The Float airbag system does not guarantee survival in an avalanche incident. Educate yourself, make good decisions, and know before you go.
