At just $500, the BCA Float 22 Pack emphasizes affordability among other airbag packs. It’s also jam-packed with features. In the event of an avalanche, the pull of a trigger engages a refillable, compressed-air cylinder (sold separately) to deploy a 150-liter airbag. The pack’s 22-liter capacity—a new size added to the Float series this year—is ideal for full-day backcountry missions, thanks to both shovel and probe sleeves, a separate dry compartment meant for wet items and a diagonal ski carry for easy bootpacking.
