Fly Racing Backcountry Kit

This kit covers the essential hardware—a pack, shovel, and probe—but it is not a complete safety system. You will still need to purchase an avalanche transceiver separately, as well as take an avalanche safety course to learn how to use this equipment effectively.

Yes, the included SP1 shovel is built for rugged use. It features a reinforced blade and an integrated saw, which is specifically designed to cut through debris or dense, hard-packed snow when you need to clear a site or build features.

The included Fly Racing Backcountry Pack is designed specifically for snow sports. It features a low-profile, ergonomic fit that stays secure against your back, ensuring it doesn't shift or interfere with your movement while you are riding.

The pack is primarily designed to organize and carry your avalanche safety tools efficiently. While there is some room for essentials like a water bottle or a light mid-layer, it is a compact, purpose-built pack rather than a large touring bag.

The SP1 Avalanche Probe is designed for rapid deployment and standard snowpack assessment. It is built to be lightweight and easy to assemble quickly in an emergency, though you should verify the specific length against your local snowpack depth requirements.
