Description
The Float 27 Speed Avalanche Airbag 2.0 is designed for close-in backcountry riding and features the new Float 2.0 system. Creating buoyancy and helping you float to the surface, the 150-liter airbag not only decreases your burial depth but also protects your head and neck from trauma in an avalanche. Nearly 30 percent smaller and 15 percent lighter than our Float 1.0 engine, the Float 2.0 engine fits inside the Float airbag compartment, freeing up more valuable space in the main compartment. All BCA Float packs include integration for BC Link™ Radios, hydration sleeve, dual zippered shoulder straps, and molded back panel.
BCA’s 200+ authorized refill locations around the world make it the easiest refillable airbag system on the market. Float 2.0 air cylinder must be purchased separately.
The Float avalanche airbag system does not guarantee survival in an avalanche incident. Educate yourself, make good decisions, and know before you go!

Only about 28 per cent of people buried in an avalanche survive. This essential promises to improve that number. The Float27Speed combats the two things holding air bag packs from greater adoption: price and weight. And BCA packs are some of the most affordable. With the redesigned Float 2.0, the company knocked 15 per cent of the weight and 20 per cent of the bulk off its air bag system

BCA’s new Float 2.0 airbag system—including the cylinder, ejector, bag and engine—is 30 percent smaller and 20 percent lighter than the original Float 1.0. Additionally, the cylinder is located in the airbag chamber, providing more space in the main compartment for your goods. The 2.0 system is compatible with the new Float Speed packs, the 27 Speed being about 20 percent lighter than BCA’s Float 32… so, you’re getting all-around weight savings to the max. This particular model’s 27-liter volume and manageable 5.7-pound weight (with full cylinder) is ideal for day trips into the backcountry.
