With 40 litres of space, it is built for long touring days, technical objectives and overnighters where a smaller pack stops being clever and starts becoming a liability.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"807\" data-start=\"360\"\u003eThe layout is properly mountain-minded too, with a dedicated tool compartment for shovel, probe and skins, broad back-panel access, A-frame or diagonal ski carry, vertical snowboard carry and attachment points for a helmet and two ice axes.

BCA helped push avalanche safety forward with the first digital multi-antenna transceiver and has since built a full range of trusted beacons, airbags, radios, shovels, probes and technical packs. Their gear is made to be reliable, straightforward and easy to use when conditions are serious, backed by a strong commitment to snow safety education and better decision-making in the backcountry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BCA","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":43551312281663,"sku":"STASH40","price":419.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1007\/8102\/files\/BCA_Stash40_Blk_6_WR.webp?v=1784522459","url":"https:\/\/www.ballistyx.com.au\/products\/bca-stash-40-backpack","provider":"Ballistyx","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
