BUYER'S GUIDE

The Float 25L from BCA requires a Float 2.0 cylinder, which you can add on here or buy separately. You can also swap it back and forth from another pack that uses a 2.0 cylinder, but be careful - you can't swap out a 1.0 cylinder into here. Also, we've found that the 2.0 cylinders aren't very easy to get in and out of the pack, so once it's installed, you might find it a pain to take in and out.

As with all avalanche airbags, be sure to check your gauge before you head out each day to ensure you haven't lost any pressure in the cylinder due to a leak.


BCA 1.0 vs. 2.0 Systems:

By increasing the efficiency of their ejector (Venturi) and adding 300 psi to the cylinder, Backcountry Access has made their cylinder 30% smaller and the whole system 20% lighter. In addition to losing weight in the engine and cylinder, the fabrics are lighter and include fewer layers. The cylinder pressure is now 2800-3000 psi instead of 2500-2700 psi.

One huge benefit of the scaled-down ejector and cylinder is that everything now fits inside the airbag compartment, leaving the main compartment free of the cylinder, trigger cable, and air hose hat now occupy BCA Float 1.0 packs. This means you have more useable volume in the pack's main storage compartment.
