Maybe you live in a place where lift accessed backcountry is part of your daily routine, or maybe you're gearing up for a cat trip. Whatever your destination might be, you'll want to be prepared. With the ultra reliable BCA airbag mechanism, and enough space for a shovel, probe, and some water or an extra layer, the BCA Float 8 Airbag Backpack is the bare bones, only-the-essentials pack that will keep you alive when things hit the proverbial fan, but won't bog you down as you step out that booter and session the sidecountry. Throw your skis over your shoulder, and head out into the backcountry with the added security of the BCA Float 8.

Refilling Your Cylinder – BCA Float cylinders may be refilled either by BCA in Boulder, CO, or at authorized refill stations.

BCA does not recommend attempting to refill cylinders yourself or at non-authorized locations as the process requires training, documentation and parts provided by BCA.
