What Avy Pack?

[Radar78]

It you are stuck that much in a day (30 times?), think about; another sled, loosing some weight, better skills, etc....lmao

Might have been a slight exaggeration but I do lack skill big time!

BCA 30 for me and it's always heavy but I leave with the knowledge that if I have to stay a night in the mountains I'm in pretty good shape for supplies.
Avy Shovel and Probe are a pain to get. I carry a cheap alum shovel for quick dig outs so I don't have to access backpack.

I have the BCA float 32.
It's a little big imo. gets heavy with stuff pretty quick and no external pockets for the essentials. Although it has an outer ish zipper pocket that can house the shovel and probe, just can't have the shovel in one piece or it sticks out too much.
Prob use it one more year then look at one of those vests.

I also have a Float 32. I actually prefer the shovel and probe inside the bag now that I have a season on it. A couple more external pockets would be nice. Im a big guy so it isnt a big deal about the size. Hold lots of stuff and seems to get lighter as the day goes.

I tried a SP vest for a day and it was ok but a bit too sweaty for me. I see they have a new float 32+7 model out

Oops i guess thats was ortovox

Hahahaha.................and according to many, we all, at some point or other lack that skill.

Thanks for clarifying that. I kinda wondered if there was a method to their madness. Such a pain in the ass to have to pull it out of the pack all the time. I think I'm gonna look into the AC tunnel bag mentioned earlier in this thread. Beats taking my pack of 30 times a day!

Why are you using your shovel to get unstuck? Much quicker and easier ways unless you ride a yamaha!

One of the reasons BCA chooses not to have external shovel holders as a standard item is the idea that it holds snow and in a slide situation it is not a smooth surface and could add a little drag.

The ideal set up is a shovel on your sled as well and never a reason to remove your pack.

I really like my BCA MTN Pro vest. Distributes weight way better than my Float 22. Storage is less but I don't like a bunch of weight on my back.

Maybe true for their skiing specific bags.
But their snowmobile specific bag definitely has the external shovel holder as that is where I ride with my shovel all the time.

Didn't you see it's called the turbo. For turbo guys who get stuck all the time lol

So would you say the BCA MTN PRO vest is not a snowmobile specific bag? It does not come with an external shovel holder. You can add it.

I remember BCA saying something about adding external carriers after complaints by sledders. I do not believe it is across their product line though.

Oh so by that definition it doesn't get a shovel carrier. Sure. Okay.
