Designed for short tours, heli/cat trips and quick-hit missions out the resort gate, the Bandit AvaLung's streamlined construction stashes your essential avy tools and increases your chance of survival in the event of a slide thanks to its built-in AvaLung. The zippered panel opening gives you quick access to the enclosed shovel/probe organization, and the diagonal ski or horizontal snowboard carry secures your ride for steep boot packs.


Features:

• Integrated AvaLung apparatus can increase the time you have to breathe if trapped in an avalanche; air is pulled in directly from the snowpack via a mouthpiece


• Exhaled carbon dioxide is directed out the exhaust port at the bottom right of the pack, extending the time available before an ice layer builds up and seals out oxygen


• Breathing tube runs through the left shoulder strap and can be positioned such that the mouthpiece is readily available


• Shovel and probe organization pockets allow simple access to your essential equipment


• Insulated sleeve helps prevent your hydration reservoir (sold separately) from freezing up; drinking tube routes through insulated right shoulder strap


• # Pack carries skis diagonally or a snowboard horizontally


• As with avalanche beacons, the Bandit AvaLung pack is not a substitute for wise assessment of hazardous avalanche terrain
