Hope to never have to use it
"I know people that may not have survived a burial without the Avalung. Doesn't guarantee you will survive a burial but a nice piece of insurance that can be used with any pack or without a pack.

Great avalung
Great price, arrived fast and is exactly what i needed. Hopefully i never need to use it but id rather be prepared and give my team a longer time to find me in case i ever do get burried. Pray for the best, but always prepare for the worst.

No safety equipment can guarantee survival. But the Mammut airbag systems and Black Diamond Avalung II can increase the possibility considerably when properly used.
More importantly, no safety equipment should be used in lieu of avalanche certification courses and following protocols.

The BD Avalung II remedies this, if one is not incapacitated and the airtube is not clogged and in plac...
