Things can get really hairy really quickly when you're hot dogging through the backcountry on your snowmobile, so get some avalanche insurance with the Backcountry Access Float Vest. Designed for snowmobilers, this lightweight pack greatly increases your chances of survival in an avalanche, offers impact protection, and provides plenty of sled-specific features to keep you prepared when you're miles away from help.
When an avalanche is set off, you hit a conveniently-located trigger (can be placed on left or right side) that almost instantly inflates a large airbag. This airbag not only helps you stay afloat in a slide, but it also increases your overall volume which makes you more likely to be sorted to the top while smaller debris gets buried. The Float Vest is also equipped with a hard shell sandwiched between two layers of PE foam to protect you from impacts by debris or your snowmobile.
An adjustable waist belt and fixed leg strap secure the pack even when you're getting tumbled. It has an hydration compatible sleeve for easy water access, and zippered pockets keep smaller essentials close at hand. BC Link radio integration helps you stay in contact with your crew, and a tether loop for your snowmobile kill switch prevents the sled from running away if you get bucked off.
This airbag system is NOT a guarantee that you will survive an avalanche; get educated, get the right tools, travel with partners, and be smart out there.
