Black Diamond AvaLung II - Medium/Large Review
Hard to rate this as I've never had to really use it to save my life and I hope I never will have to use it that way. I got it as added insurance in addition to probe, beacon, shovel and buddy. I figured it would buy me extra minutes of air in case I get buried or fall into a tree well. M/L fits comfortably over my jacket (I'm male, wear L jacket, 190 lbs, 42" chest). I wear my pack over it. Along with the pack straps it leaves my chest area a bit cluttered, but I can still access my chest pockets. In order to be truly useful in an emergency it has to be fully extended and in my mouth while skiing which can be a bit distracting at first, especially while trying to yell at my friends. In a fall in deep powder, if it's not in my mouth, the mouthpiece can fill with snow rendering it useless for breathing. When breathing on it the valve makes a distracting honking sound (- 1 star for that). I recommend it for anybody going into the backcountry or trees.Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Black Diamond AvaLung II - Medium/Large" are high quality item.
