Black Diamond Covert AvaLung Pack

Black Diamond Covert AvaLung Pack

Item # 743318
!
This item is currently sold out or unavailable online.

For your reference, this page contains historical product information.

Black Diamond® Covert pack keeps an AvaLung II™ at the ready and eliminates the need to wear it separate from your winter safety pack.

  • 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 tube, extending the time available before an ice layer builds up and seals out oxygen
  • User must be able to get the mouthpiece inserted before avalanche debris restricts movement; snowpack or injury can prevent its use
  • Apparatus is built into pack, with the breathing tube enclosed inside the left shoulder strap so the mouthpiece is readily available
  • Exhaled carbon dioxide exits through a special port at the bottom right of pack
  • Features large main compartment with sleeve for water reservoir (sold separately); drinking tube routes through insulated right shoulder strap
  • Also features a dedicated, zippered pocket with sleeves for storing avalanche probes; has room for shovel and related safety gear
  • Carries skis or snowboard vertically
  • Keep large gear handy with dual high-and-low ice axe loops and twin elastic cords with cinching cordlocks; upper ice axe loops are reinforced
  • Features comfortable padded waistbelt, shoulder straps and backpanel; reinforced handle lets you grab and carry when time is critical
  • As with avalanche beacons, the Covert AvaLung pack is not a substitute for wise assessment of hazardous avalanche terrain

Imported.

Comments about Black Diamond Covert AvaLung Pack:

great pack for day trips into the backcountry, probably too small for multi day trips. Haven't had to test the Avalung in a avalanche situation yet, but is nice to have

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
