Description
The avalung may be the most important piece of life-saving equipement. You can wear it when travelling in avalance terrain. While a beacor can be a great body locator device, the avalung allows you to breath the fresh air directly from the snow pack, buying you precious time during a rescue. Rebreathing exhaled air when you are buried causes suffocation because the air becomes oversaturated with carbon dioxide and depleted of oxygen. The avalung diverts the exexhausted air away from your frsh air intake zone, considerably extanding the time your partners have to conduct a successfull recovery. This nine-ounce shoulder is proven to extend lives-its trusted by guides, avalanche control workers, patrollers and ski mountaineers worldwide.
