    Comments about BCA Float 18 Airbag Backpack (Cartridge Included):

    I was optimistic at first by the whole avalanche airbag concept, but now that I have one it makes complete sense. This airbag is the most affordable pack out there, and the fact that it is refillable is awesome. According to the BCA website I can take it to one of their authorized scuba shops and it will cost me $20 to refill it. Everything fits in it great but if you throw a water bottle into the mix you are starting to max out the capacities of the pack, which is fine for sidecountry and the day tourer. Overall I do like the pack, and my pre-season quiver is telling me that I will like it when it comes to this winter.
