These are the stylish new float avalanche, airbag packs from bca, just as light, affordable and easy to use as our existing float packs, but five percent lighter and with a new lineup of colors and our new float turbos offer more shovel and radial carrying options, see our float turbo video for details. All float packs come with our proven compressed air inflation system proven to keep you afloat.

If things go south quickly, the floats come in pack volumes ranging from 12 to 42 liters. The float 42 hasn’t changed and is still our full featured pro and guiding pack. So, let’s focus on the float, 12, 22 and 32 our 3000 psi cylinder is stashed in the airbag compartment, with the 150 liter airbag it’s easily refilled. After an appointment at your local retailer, scuba or paintball shop, our new ergonomic trigger is easily deployed and stashed safely in the shoulder, strap.

The other shoulder strap is compatible with our bc. Link radios, a hydration tube or even both all bca packs have dedicated pockets for carrying your shovel and probe in the float, 22 and 32. This compartment is separate from the main compartment for easy access and dry gear. They also all have a breathable molded back panel, with an adjustable height hip belt, to accommodate a wide range of torso sizes.

The hip belt comes with a pocket, as well as the all-important leg. Strap always make sure this is secure between your legs to prevent the pack from pulling over your head in the case of a large avalanche, all our packs come with diagonal ski carrying system and vertical snowboard carry for big days on the boot pack. You can also attach ice axes, collapsible, poles and other tools. The helmet sling is removable and can be used either centered on the pack or in the upper corner.

Out of the way from your skis or snowboard, you’ll also get an assortment of pockets, including a fleece-lined goggle pocket on the float32. All these features make for a great pack for backcountry, skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling, but the main features are proven, float airbag engine just pull the trigger and the airbag deploys behind your head, where it not only provides protection, but it keeps your arms and legs free.

So you can fight and swim as it works to keep you afloat and when it’s all over, the float system is easy to repack on your own in the field, but hopefully you’ll never need to use it except to practice. Remember an airbag is not a substitute for an avalanche course. Take an on snow abbey course and practice regularly with all your rescue equipment.

The biggest change for this year is it gets upgraded to our 2 0 system, so the 2 0 system uses a smaller cylinder and that cylinders actually stowed in the air bag compartment.

So it frees up some extra space in your pack. The 2 0 system is about 30% smaller than 1 0 and about 15% lighter, so you’ve got more storage capacity and overall, a lighter pack now remember. The 1 0 cylinder is not compatible with the 2 0 system and the 2 0 cylinder will not work in the 1 0 system. The flow 22s full of a lot of great features on the front side.

Here, you’ll notice we have our our helmet, carry and that’s stowable and that can connect down to these lower tabs here or, if you’re carrying your skis diagonally.

Compartment I like to refer to it as our mudroom. It keeps all of your your snow safety tools, separate from all the other stuff on the inside of your pack, and that’s really nice. If you’re not digging pits and your shovels getting wet you’re using your probe, you can kind of keep all that separated in there. So a nice organizational pockets here for your shovel handle your probe, your shovel blade, and you can also carry a nice axe in this tool.

The biggest thing it’s been upgraded to use our 2 0 system float. 2 0 system is about 30% smaller than the 1 0 system, and about 15% lighter the cylinders, much smaller and it now lives in the air bag pocket.

So it does free up some additional space in the main storage compartment compared to the 1 0 system.

We have a vertical snowboard, carry and that’s new for this year. Here’s the vertical snowboard carry that Stowe’s nicely into the pack, and then we have our lower attachment points here at the bottom as well, and this lower unit is also used for your diagonal ski carry as the lower loop and then there’s a top loop here.

That’s stowed away when not in use for the top attachment point on the side of the pack. Here, you’ll notice, we have some compression straps, we don’t recommend an a-frame carry. These are just simply used to cinch up the pack when you’re not carrying it maxed out, then we have our red zipper here. This represents our tool compartment. You have your shovel handle a shovel blade probe in here, and it’s also ice axe compatible for those springtime stow it under here is your helmet carry and that attaches to the lower webbing loops on the down.

The 2 0 system is about 30%, smaller and 15%, lighter than our previous 1 0 system, and now the cylinder is actually stored in the air bag pocket.

So it does free up some additional space in the pack. Now remember, the 1 0 cylinder is not compatible with the 2 0 system and the 2 0 cylinder will not work in the 1 0 system. So keep that in mind when you’re out shopping. This pack has a lot of great features to it. First, we have our vertical snowboard carry and these straps stow away here on the front of the pack.

The lower straps here will also act as the ski carry for a diagonal ski carry inside the pack.

Hi everyone- this is Dana Olson from backcountry access, I’m, a customer service and sales representative here at the Boulder office here I have the float, 27 speed and here’s the float 17 speed. These are the two colors that the models come in. We’re really excited to bring a new float, 2 0 system to the market. This new system is going to be able to be 20% smaller and 20%, lighter than the current 1 0 system.

Now, the more efficient ejectors that we’ve come up with is allowed our cylinder here to be reduced by 30%, which is allowed for the reduction in the size of the system in general. Also just the features of the pack being slimmed down a bit as well as the materials that we use. The new 2 0 system allows for us to maximize packable space inside the pack by limiting the guts of the actual airbag system into the air bag compartment as five and a half pounds or roughly 2500 grams.

These two packs are designed for the weight, conscious users. Our 17 here is designed more for those short tours close to the road or maybe an extended day outside the boundaries of the resort, whereas our 27 is designed for those big vert days are just getting up and high in the Alpine and trying to limit as much weight as you possibly have. The features of these two speed packs are mostly identical on the front here we have diagonal ski carry options, utilizing this strap down here at the bottom.

This adjusts for catching the ends of your bindings, and then we have another strap up here at the top diagonal ski carry option and a ladder lock here to prevent this strap from loosening up at all on. You also include it on the outside of the pack. Here are some very versatile gear: loop mounts that you can utilize the velcro straps that are included with the pack or possibly a bowl, a ski strap.

These are very useful for carrying your ice tools or any kind of extra gear that you want to carry on the outside of the pack. Also you’ll see we have compression straps on both sides, which can be utilized to self, really tighten down the pack and reduce the swing weight if it’s not fully packed or if you do want to utilize this for carrying any extra gear as well. The slim down waist belt on these packs includes a nice gear loop here for when you’re doing any glacier travel or need any extra climbing hardware.

Additionally, we have what’s included on all our float. Packs is the leg harness this is utilized to keep the pack on you in the case of an avalanche. You don’t want that pack to ride up or potentially be lifted off your body, so using this loop every time, you’re out an avalanche terrain is very important, included on the side of the hip belt as well. Is a nice elastic pocket to store this leg, harness away when not in use, as well as a nice carabiner loop here in the case that you prefer using a carabiner for strapping the leg harness on or when you’re taking it off, rather than utilizing it through the waist belt itself? Flipping the pack around you’ll see that this pack, although slim down to help cut weight, still, does include duals different shoulder sleeves, and these sleeves are nice and big, so you’re able to keep your DC link radios zipped up when not in use and out of the elements, but when you do need it, these are nice big, sleeves, allow for the BC link and potentially even your hydration reservoir hose to come through here as well, and this would be always on the opposite side of where your trigger is here.

We have our trigger and it can fully be stowed away as well when not in use, which is important when traveling to prevent any kind of false deployments. Also, we have a nice adjustable, sternum strap here, equipped with a whistle and then you’ll see a nice ergonomic back panel. That has some nice padding, but also some spacing to allow for a little bit of airflow as well.

Now we’ll check out the inside of the pack down here at the bottom. Next to our ski carry strap. We have a nice loop here that can be utilized for carrying a nice X and then utilizing one of these gear loops. Here we can hold that axe in place, they’re going to look at the inside of the pack. Here we have our airbag compartment, which now contains the cylinder itself, the airbag and all the plumbing, as far as the hoses and the cables to deploy the airbag.

Also, these all these parts are completely removable. So on days where you don’t feel like, you need to have the airbag with you and you want to further reduce the weight these all these parts and pieces are completely removable. If you look at side, the main compartment now you’ll see there’s no longer any of those hoses or the cylinder. This is all complete packable space and we also threw in a nice gear loop here for your BC linker radio, as well as some attachment points for a hydration reservoir.

If you look at the opposite side of the main compartment, we have designated sleeves for your shovel handle, probe and shovel blade. Maybe a small first aid kit as well also is a nice small mesh pocket for small items, keep those organized and out of the way of some of the bigger things you might throw in the main compartment here. So that’s it for the flow 27 and 17 2 0 speed packs.

If you like, going light and fast. These two packs are your key to the summit. Thanks for watching.

Hi I’m Andy from backcountry access- and this is our float, Mountain Pro vest for 2019 and 20. We redesigned it to be about 6%, lighter and more breathable, but the biggest change we made to the float vest is that it’s now compatible with BCAAs 2 0 system, which is about 15%, lighter and 20% smaller than the original 1 0 system. So you’re saving some weight with this, and it’s very nice and breathable again. The whole idea behind the float Mountain Pro vest is that you have an air bag but you’re also getting protection with it too.

So the vest features layers of foam with plastic sandwiched in between them for ultimate protection and breathability in the field. The float Mountain Pro vest is available in two sizes this year, a medium large and in XL double X. It’s also available in two colors. This is the yellow. We also do a red, so both sizes are available in both colors this year. So that’s new. Also on the pack. We have some nice features here. We have our nice little storage pocket for any small items.

We also have our external shovel carry. So you can carry your shovel fully assembled in here. That’s one option or you can have it apart. You can put your shovel handle on the side as well, so a lot of different ways. You can carry your shovel. It just comes down to personal preference, so we want to just provide a lot of different options since since people like to carry their shovels different ways out there opening up the pack, you can see here we have our our shovel and probe stowed inside just one option.

We do have these sleeves on the inside. If you don’t want to carry the shovel on the outside of your pack and then over here on the side, we have our webbing loop for our BC link, radio and the RIT. The radio base unit stoves right in there and the mic cord threads through the air bag compartment behind the air bag and through the shoulder, strap into the radio pocket. You’ll notice. Here our 2 0 system really cleaned up the inside storage pocket, there’s no longer a cylinder housed next to your gear.

It’s now stowed in the air bag pocket. We also have our bladder hangers here for your hydration. You can hang your bladder here and then run the hose through the shoulder strap as well. Moving to the front of the vest here, we still have zippers on the shoulder. Straps put your trigger on one side and you’re able to house your BC link radio on the other side. These are totally interchangeable. If you’re more comfortable having the trigger on your left shoulder and your radio on the right side, you can totally switch those around on the front of the pack.

We also feature two storage pockets on each side and each pocket has a transceiver sleeve built in with a D loop to attach that transceiver. So it’s nice and secure on the opposite side. Here we have another storage pocket again, there’s a transceiver pocket in there. If you’d rather have your your transceiver on the right side, but you can stash any any quick items you need in there any bars food that kind of thing as well, also on the front of the pack.

Here we have our D loop for attaching your kill, switch tether as I open up the pack here, you’ll notice. We add some perforation to our protective foam and plastic in here. This is just going to allow you to vent and stay cool as you ride. Also for 1920. We added this webbing loop here on the inside of your side protection. Basically, what this loop does. Is it just kind of keeps the pack wrap tight around you and it allows that waist belt to stay in place as you’re out riding, so it’s no longer sliding down it stays in place and keeps the pack securely on your back.

Each Mountain, Pro vest size features a wide range of adjustability. With these webbing straps on the side, you can really snug the pack up for aggressive riding situations after Thanksgiving, if you’re, really nice and full, you can expand these a little bit for more information on avalanche safety in education. You can visit backcountry access, calm, stay safe out there.

It was pretty good, it seems to practice, though I got a question on avalanche gear, for the freestyle skier. So a backpack, that’s not so bulky. Maybe this one solves the problem. It looks pretty small and nice. Let’s talk to the guys and see how it is in ours. Is a single air bag? There’s this dual air bag, so there’s half as much plumbing. So this is our new float, 2 0 system and what we’ve done is.

We’ve made the whole system more efficient. You’ve been able to shrink our cylinder by about 30%. So now that’s a lot smaller and lighter and we’ve also decreased. The weight of our air bags by 20% now fits inside the air bag compartment. So we don’t have any anymore plumbing or cylinders in the main compartment, so you will yeah yeah. It actually feels really nice on the back.

Which means you can you know you can ski more athletically up like this? That’s the New York grab old-school style. That’s right, hey can I try one of them yeah. Let’s see it’s a free stuff, friendly I, don’t know, but it feels quite good. The first impression say it feels like a normal backpack, but a bit of extra support from the top. That’s pretty good actually, and so it’s not so heavy.

It seems pretty free stuff family to me. Do you want to jump off something and do the fancy Japan graph? It’s totally free Istanbul. It’s a hope that answers your question. Man.

Hey guys, this is Dan from backcountry access, gonna walk you through how to install say a hydration reservoir or your BC link radio into our new flow 2, 0 packs. The setup is going to be very similar to the 1 0 system, we’re just going to be routing up through the shoulder sleeve. This move it’s going to be getting into the airbag Department, because you’re gonna have to route whether it’s a hydration hose or your PC link radio through this area.

This is where it gets a little bit back good idea to also open up the main compartment. You have a nice room to work with use the rib zipper to get into the air bag compartment and it’s gonna be a lot easier to work around once the air bag is out. So that’s how I’m gonna demonstrate it, but with the connections from the shoulder straps coming through on the outside here, if you don’t feel like messing with the air bag, you can do that just to kind of show a little bit more clearly we’re gonna over you’re going out so pull that out just to kind of give yourself a little bit more space to work with I like demonstrate this, with our camo BC link radio on hook the mic from the base unit put the base unit on the side.

Now we’re gonna you’re gonna need a have a nice small art to be able to kind of push it up through your filter connection and get it into the air bag and then into the main compartment. Every side you don’t have your trigger on and here is my trigger so I’m going to open up this side and stand the pack up. You should be able to kind of feel with your finger. Okay, where is that opening from the shoulders sleeve into the air bag compartment, so I’m able to find that with my finger? Okay got a good that is which is just at the top here.

It’s gonna be opposite of where your triggers coming out from so if you can’t seem to find it just look at where that trigger is coming from, and you can just find the other side they’re just gonna guide. This part, the cord up into the main compartment, pull too much slack through as I can. For now, we can always adjust where the mics it’s a little bit later. You can either route the cable to the right or the left side.

However, I would recommend routing it to the opposite side of where your trigger is coming through. That way, a little bit less cable needed in order to get it down in the main compartment, but both sides of the back compartment openings that go into the main compartment. So main thing here is just to make sure you’re not putting the mic cord over the air bag, so I’ll kind of fold it back over, so that I can now get it into the main compartment easily a good idea to fall back piece over it make sure that nothing’s in the way there now I just got it down from the corner, pull this piece back a little bit just to get some slack there just so that we have a little bit to work with once we do connect the mic, and now you can see here, we do have a timing.

Moving for your radio, so we’ll get the radio connected. Your radio can sit in that webbing loop before we repack the airbag good idea to make sure our mic has a little bit of cord to work with here. I’ll just connect, my mic clip to the living it’s nice about. These packs is that they’re designed to be large enough to then zip up your radio. So whenever it’s not use and get it out of the elements now we just have to repack back.

So it’s going to follow the folding instructions. This way, the last little bit air out of there like that everything’s right where it needs to be. You got the zipper to our air bag. Compartment closed, got the BC link in there pack ready to rock thanks for watching.

Access today, I’m gonna walk you through the steps in order to set up accessories through the shoulder sleeve of your float. Air bag pack seems kind of like a daunting task at first, but in five minutes you can make it happen. So, whether it’s your BC link, radio, you, your reinstalling a trigger or you’re, just swapping the trigger from one side to the other or you’re installing a hydration hose.

It’s basically all done the same way. So all these steps are applicable to any of these things, and you just want to make sure that mainly your routing things correctly, so that you’re not getting the airbag involved at all with these items. So if you do need to employ it nothing’s in the way and you’re not gonna break or lose anything upon that deployment all right.

So your first step is to disconnect, in this case the base unit from the radio or, in the case of using a hydration bladder, remove the bladder so that we have tooth. You know it’s a thin piece that we can thread through. It’s gonna make things much easier, open up the shoulder sleeve. So, in this case, since our trigger here is located in this shoulder sleeve, we’re gonna be routing the link through this sleeve loosen up your load lifter, so that this shoulder strap can bend freely part of your mic.

The end part is going to be routing up into the shoulder, strap so we’ll leave it right there for now. Next you’re gonna need to get the air bag compartment open. Do this by taking the air bag breakaway zipper here and pulling it apart. Do not want to use the zipper it’s much easier to use the breakaway zipper fold.

This part, the flap that goes over the zipper back gonna, make it much easier for you to grab the end of the mic. You should be able to see the mic start to poke through guide that part of the mic through or you’re, using a hydration the hose. At this point, it’s through we’re going to want to pull the excess all the way through and leave our mic dangling.

At this point, we want to decide whether we’re gonna route it down through this side or the opposite side. The main thing that we want to do is make sure not to route anything over our air bag. Obviously, if it were to deploy this would be in the way. So we wanted to make sure everything is routed around now. If we look at the trigger how it’s already set up, it’s a good guide as to how this area should look anything that’s routed through this area needs to be behind the actual air bag itself, so that when you pack it back in the air bag can open up and nothing else is going to get in the way.

So in this case we’re going to route our beastie and link Mike down through the corner, the corner, that’s just above our cylinder and you can utilize the webbing loops along the side here to help keep this secure and not loose inside the air bag compartments. So make sure to do that at least through one of these webbing loops is a good idea, continue to pull a little excess through, so that you have some stretch to work with guide the Mike through will see it pop through this other side.

Here once that has made it through, you can pull a little bit more slack through and then we will take our base unit connect it to the radio lock it in there and now. I can attach this piece to the webbing loop I. Think it’s a good idea to leave a little bit of slack so that you’re not going to be putting excess stress on this part of your link.

But you don’t want it to have too much slack to the point where, when you start putting things inside the main compartment, things are going to get caught on this slack. So generally, I will just leave a little bit here, as you can see. Leave this part that’s routed through the air bag compartment a little loose as well, so that when I go to measure how I want this attached to my shoulder, sleeve I can grab a little bit extra slack if I need to like that, I’ll attach my mic and I feel confident.

Now that I have enough slack and everything is routed properly, you can double check by pulling the air bag compartment back open. You can’t even really see that it’s routed through there, but you just want to note that nothing is wrapped over the air bag so, like that I’m going to repack the air bag, utilizing these webbing loops, you can move these two items up and down, as you see fit, and with any further questions or concerns regarding this installation process.
