Black Diamond® Covert pack keeps an AvaLung® at the ready and eliminates the need to wear it separately 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
- Ski-carry cable provides quick and secure diagonal attachment of skis
- Helmet carrying sling and fleece-lined goggle pocket take care of your headwear and eyewear
- Keep large gear handy with an ice axe loop and an elastic cord with cinching cordlock
- Features comfortable padded waistbelt, shoulder straps and back panel; 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
