Only the Snowpulse LIfebag series of bags will deflate to create an airpocket. Here's one: http://www.wildsnow.com/6643/snowpulse-guide-30-review/ Jerry, the BCA airbag will stay inflated.

I was wondering about this question and haven't found the answer yet: Let's say you inflate the airbag in time during an avalanche, however, you get buried in snow/debris anyway. Will the airbag stay inflated after burial, or will it eventually create some 'back/headspace' after a few minutes because of deflation...? Thus giving some space for movement / more space under the snow and so more oxygen/time left to survive? Hi all!

Sounds much safer and would like to have it but not so much i feel like buying a whole new bag. Good to see bca improving the design but hard not to grimace when i read that the float 30's now meant for sledders not skiers.

My oldest almost got buried just was on the edge. Just wear them! Make a mom happy!
