BCA Float Mtnpro Vest 2.0

The Mtnpro Vest 2.0 is designed to be low-profile and form-fitting, distributing weight across your torso rather than pulling on your shoulders like a backpack. It is engineered to be worn comfortably either over or under your outer layers, depending on your preference for accessibility and fit.

Yes, the vest features built-in back protection designed to mitigate impact in high-consequence terrain. It provides an extra layer of defense against rocks, trees, or hard snow surfaces, which is a significant advantage over standard airbag packs that lack structural armor.

The Float 2.0 system requires a refill of the compressed air cylinder after any deployment. You will need to visit an authorized BCA refill center or a local shop equipped to handle BCA cylinder refills to get the system ready for your next outing.

While the vest is streamlined, it is not a replacement for your full avalanche rescue kit. You will still need to carry your shovel and probe in a separate pack or ensure your setup allows for the necessary storage, as the vest is primarily focused on the airbag system and back protection.

You should perform a test deployment at the start of every season to ensure the trigger mechanism and airbag inflation are functioning correctly. Additionally, always check the cylinder pressure before heading out and inspect the vest chassis for any signs of wear or damage to the straps and buckles.
