A versatile, panel-loading day-tripper, the Black Diamond Outlaw AvaLung features unique backpanel access so you can access your gear without removing the pack or while carrying your skis or snowboard. In the event of a slide, the built-in AvaLung increases your chance of survival by extending your fresh air supply. The spacious interior holds a long day's worth of gear and features a dedicated avy-tool pocket, and the pack vertically carries skis or a snowboard.


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


• Full front and backpanel access to main compartment lets you get to your gear quickly and easily, even with skis or a snowboard attached


• Dedicated avalanche pocket keeps a shovel and probe accessible


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


• Padded pocket protects your goggles while they are stowed


• Hipbelt stash pockets keep energy bars and gels within reach


• Bag is designed to carry skis A-frame, diagonal or vertical; also accommodates a snowboard


• Reinforced handle lets you grab and carry the pack when time is critical


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