Designed primarily as an airbag option for sledders, but popular also among heli-and-cat-assisted powder fanatics who only need room for a shovel, probe and beer, the BCA Float E2 MtnPro Vest Airbag Pack gets the Alpride E2 Supercapacitor system for 2024, making it a breeze to travel with and charge between deployments. As minimalist as airbag solutions get, the MtnPro has 20 liters of carrying capacity but zips up like a vest and gives you a new feeling of freedom on the descent.
Alpride E2 Supercapacitor Engine – BCA’s new Float E2 avalanche airbag packs use an Alpride E2 supercapacitor system to store energy that powers the compressor upon deployment. Supercapacitors store and release energy based on electromechanical properties rather than a chemical reaction like in rechargeable batteries. This makes supercapacitor performance much more reliable in cold temperatures. For the same reason, the energy stored in a supercapacitor releases faster when activated for deployment. The new E2 engine is 40 percent smaller and 25 percent lighter than the existing Alpride E1 system, with a 162-liter airbag. Like the E1, the E2 is TSA-approved for hassle-free airline travel.

Warning – Wearing an airbag backpack is no guarantee of survival in an avalanche. Backcountry travelers are highly advised to educate themselves in snow stability assessment, route finding, and companion rescue and carry all of the conventional avalanche gear in addition to the airbag.
