I ordered one, first avy pack. I researched until my head spun then took the plunge. Any users on here with anything positive/negative to report?
BCA Float 25 Turbo, anyone?

Ordered one as well, waiting for it to arrive, I did try one on at Hay Days, and it fit me real well.

Thanks, not much for user reviews out there yet. I see mine shipped this morning.

I was going to sell by Throttle 22 and get one this year after trying it on at ISC this year, but decided against it. I love the pack layout compared to the throttle 22. The extra small features they added really make it nice. It fit me great and felt lighter overall compared to my 22. Only reason I didn't get one came down to price. Going to school and trying to ride, I figured I'd just keep what I have.

Thanks for your input, it's appreciated.

you cant go wrong with any of them. But IMO BCA is on top of the list. The 25 is there best pack yet.

Got mine a couple days ago ...sweet pack would def recommend it
I like my Float turbo. Ive only rode with it one time so far but it fits me well and is very comfortable

Got mine today. Could someone take a pic of theirs packed? Shovel, probe, things like that. I am sure each section is designed for something. I can't find a vid or pics to show anything.
I know it's not rocket science. Are shovel handle and probe going in pack. What about zipper pouches on outside?

Yes probe and shovel and handle all go inside the first pouch.
S
Zippered pouches on the outside, that look like they are the size for a probe or shovel handle, what do you use those for????
Think I have a pair of gloves in one. Other is empty

Sorry for the dumb Azz questions. It's just nice to know some intended use.

Any updates on how you guys like the packs? Pros/cons? I'm considering buying one this week. How are they for comfort and feel carrying a load for the day?

I just wore mine for three days in the Bighorns of Wyoming. It's my first avy pack, but it was just as comfortable as my Klim pack. I'm 5'10" and 200 pounds. Pack fit really well, was comfortable, and everything stayed dry inside. Only one small downside that is easily fixed.....all the straps seems excessively long so they hang pretty low. I plan on cutting them down a tad and stitching them.

I wonder how they compare to the float 22 for fit and comfort? I've heard a lot of people not liking those for comfort or other reasons, I wonder if things have been improved on the float 25? I really don't need the extra space but from past reviews I would prefer to avoid the 22.

I wore my Float 25 for first time last weekend. I love it. Plenty of room for stuff and comfortable to wear. I second that the straps are a little long. I'm going to cut mine with a blade and use a small propane torch to seal the frayed ends.
....interesting. I have worn a 22 for the last 3 seasons, as have 6 of the guys I ride with. No comfort issues at all, in fact we liked it better than the 32, as it didn't hit our helmets. I have NO qualms about recommending the 22.
