The Float E2-25 Turbo is BCA's sled-specific electronic airbag pack for mountain snowmobiling. The external shovel carry lets you grab your shovel without unzipping the pack or taking your gloves off, which is handy when you're digging out often. An insulated internal pocket protects your electronics, and a dedicated compartment keeps your shovel and probe easy to reach. The 162 L airbag cuts your burial depth and protects your head and neck, and the Alpride E2 supercapacitor system works reliably in the cold.

BUYERS' GUIDE
The "25" in the name is the pack's volume without the E2 system. With the system installed, usable space is 21 L, so plan your gear for that number.
The E2 system means no cylinder to refill, and it's classified as a capacitor under 10 Wh, so it isn't subject to the dangerous goods rules for air travel. BCA recommends carrying their fact sheet when you fly.
The two AA batteries are worth adding. Alkaline gives you one extra deployment and keeps the system charged for up to three months, and lithium gives you three extra deployments and up to five months. Always check the charge before you ride. For sizing, go by torso length, not height. The two sizes overlap between about 43 and 46 cm, so if you're in that range, call us before you order.
