BCA took its Float 2.0 airbag engine, which was new last winter, and implemented it into all of its airbag packs for 2018-19. The 2.0 engine is 30 percent smaller and 15 percent lighter than its predecessor, which takes weight off your shoulders and opens up room in your pack for more essentials—we’re talkin’ snacks, people. BCA also implemented a lighter, more intuitive waist buckle and cone-shaped trigger that stows away perfectly in the shoulder strap so it won’t catch on anything when descending. This pack touts 32 liters of storage as well as all of the bells and whistles you’d expect from a backcountry pack—a ski-carry system, hydration compatibility, a helmet holster, a tool pocket—making it ideal for full-day excursions out of bounds.
