Black Diamond Covert Avalung M/L Pack 2012 - Optimized for day-long backcountry tours, the Black Diamond Covert stores everything you need for day-to-day off-piste travel and increases your chance of survival in the event of a slide thanks to its built-in AvaLung. The spacious interior organizes your avy tools and has enough room for lunch, layers and skins, while the fleece-lined goggle pouch and tuck-away helmet sling stash your accessories on the skin track. When you hit the ridgeline, the Black Diamond Covert's diagonal ski-carry cable secures your planks.
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
