Getting an Avy backpack ~ Loss of a life

[Polarisrocks]

What did he weigh? I am thinking about getting a snowpulse bag but my one concern is are the bags enough volumn to get a big up floating. I weigh 300 lbs and i can see a serious difference in flotation between a 190 lb guy and a 300 lb guy and they both get to wear the same size packs. WTF

Sorry for your loss.

not to hijack, but a larger person tends to already have an advantage over smaller, as increasing size is what the bag is doing, it's not like a pfd in the water where it's strictly "flotation". Generally a 300 lb guy is "less dense" (yes, I fit into the low density category...) than a 150 lb guy anyhow.
