The Black Diamond Outlaw Avalung ski pack is ideal for backcountry snowplay. It can increase the time you have to breathe if trapped in an avalanche.
- Integrated AvaLung apparatus lets you breathe air 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
- User must be able to get the mouthpiece inserted before avalanche debris restricts movement; snowpack or injury can prevent its use
- Suspension offers full range of motion, and optimal comfort for scrambling and climbing
- Shoulder straps move in concert with your stride and reach by sliding through the bottom of the pack with a low-friction cable and housing
- Shoulder straps are linked to together by the cable which helps maintain an even, balanced load across the shoulders
- Front and back panel access to main compartment lets you get to your gear quickly and easily, even with skis or a snowboard attached
- Dedicated avalanche tool 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
- Hipbelt stash pocket keeps energy bars and other small items within reach
- Bag is designed to carry skis A-frame or diagonal; also accommodates a snowboard
- Note: The Black Diamond Outlaw AvaLung pack is not a substitute for wise assessment of hazardous avalanche terrain
