In short

The special BCA Float E2 45L avalanche airbag is designed for long trips and overnight stays. An Alpride E2 supercapacitor system to store energy that drives the compressor when the airbag inflates. These supercapacitors perform in cold temperatures and are much more reliable than rechargeable batteries. The innovative Side Stash Pocket and Back Stash zipper allow for easy travel in the snow. The roll top expands for extra volume so that you can always start your adventure prepared with this avalanche backpack.

In detail

The new Alpride E2 Airbag System surpasses its predecessor (E1) and is a lot smaller and lighter (1140g Alpride System) which ensures that you have more space left in the bag. The Alpride E2 airbag system works with a supercapacitor instead of a Lithium-ion battery. The performance of the supercapacitor is more reliable in cold temperatures and the airbag inflates faster.

The new Alpride E2 motor is 40 percent smaller and 25 percent lighter than the existing Alpride E1 system, with a 162-liter airbag. Like the E1, the E2 is TSA-approved for hassle-free air travel. Last in addition to the storage in the supercapacitor, two AA batteries can be installed for additional activation. The batteries also help keep the supercapacitors fully charged when not in use.
