Product Details
Black Diamond has now successfully built their lifesaving Avalung into their full line of backcountry skiing backpacks. The Black Diamond Bandit Avalung is a small pack (690 cu in) that's made for inbounds or sidecountry sorties. It is big enough for a quick backcountry tour, but you'll have to decide between the extra layers you know you should bring and the first aid kit your wife wants you to bring in order to get everything in there. Its simple design lacks a separate toolkit sleeve, so your avie tools slip into the outside of the main clamshell pocket where all your other gear is stashed. While the Black Diamond Bandit Avalung is small, it is a comfortable and lightweight tourer and skis extremely well.- Manufacturer: Black Diamond

Product Descriptions
Backcountry Description: The Black Diamond Bandit Avalung Pack does something that other yo-yo packs don't—it helps you breathe under the snow if you're caught in an avalanche. An intake box in the Bandit's shoulder strap pulls fresh air from the snow pack, while your exhaled CO2 gets directed away from your body through an exhaust port at the lower side of this Seth Morrison pro-model pack. Before each run, test the breathing tube on the Bandit to make sure the airway is clear.
Retailer Reviews
Great small pack.
This thing is by no means big, but it can handle a shovel, probe, extra gloves and hat, which is all I really need when steeping out of bounds from the resort. The added benefit of having the avalung included in a lightweight, comfortable pack is huge. My only gripe is that the waist strap is pretty small (it is comfortable to ride with, but difficult to find and strap together at times).
