Description

Stop and think about it for a minute...if you carry a beacon, what reason could you possibly have to not use the BD Avalung? It weighs less than a pound and offers better breathing performance than ever before—superior in comfort and versatility.

Features

• About two-thirds to three-quarters of all (avalanche) victims die of suffocation. The whole purpose of the AvaLung is to buy the buried person time.

• The AvaLung is a simple filtration device which draws air directly from the snow pack. Even dense avalanche debris consists of approximately 50% air. The AvaLung membrane increases the surface area from which you breathe, making it possible to pull air from the snow. The patented system within the AvaLung separates the O2 from the exhaled CO2 which is then directed away from the air intake to diffuse through the snow pack.
• The AvaLung should be used with a beacon, shovel and knowledgeable companions.
• The AvaLung can be comfortably worn under a pack, but must always be worn as the final outer layer.
• Product of the USA.

Note: Wearing the Avalung alone is not enough, avalanche training is strongly recommended.
