Black Diamond Covert AvaLung
We hope you’re never buried in an avalanche. But if you are, an AvaLung can buy you precious minutes by channeling the toxic carbon dioxide that you exhale away from your face. But that’s just one (albeit important) feature on Black Diamond’s Covert pack. It also boasts a dedicated pocket for your shovel and probe, a hidden sling that untucks to hold your helmet, a cable ski-carry system, and an insulated hydration sleeve.
