Low-profile Float MtnPro Airbag Vest built for sled-access terrain and heli-assisted days
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I recommend this vest for riders who want avalanche protection without a traditional pack. It stays tight to the body, offers impact protection, and keeps essentials right where you need them. For snowmobiling or heli days, the vest design feels more natural and less restrictive than a backpack."
When the day revolves around throttle control, quick laps, and high-consequence terrain, we trust the Float MtnPro Airbag Vest from Backcountry Access. Designed specifically for snowmobiling and heli-assisted skiing, this vest-style airbag delivers avalanche protection without the bulk or movement of a traditional backpack, keeping us balanced and connected to the machine or the slope.
Built around the Float 2.0 airbag system, the vest uses a smaller, lighter compressed air cylinder to reduce weight while maintaining reliable deployment. Integrated front, side, and back protection adds confidence in technical terrain, while smart storage keeps shovel, hydration, and radio secure and accessible. The result is a purpose-driven avalanche safety solution for riders who demand mobility, protection, and fast access in demanding winter environments.
