Is that this years or last years model? Anyone know?

 

[mr.deeds]

I think that there is only one year of the float 18. The float 30 has been around for around 3 years. The pic of the float 30 is the new model.

There is more than one year of the 18....

There is more than one year of the 18....

No there's not. This year's model is the only model of the Float 18.....ever.

Then why are people saying that BCA made some changes this year to the trigger mechanism and people are ordering retrofit kits for their older bags....?

Maybe I'm confused...

Here's the thread referring to the differences:

I'll be calling in the morning to confirm. If it's the new one, I'll take one!

I lucked out big time, i ordered mine at about 10 last night as I seen your post in the classifieds with the link to this retailer. couldnt believe the price.

I emailed them and they confirmed they will honor sale price from last night, so I bought one thanks for the help!

Most local dealers around are willing to make deals to help customers with avi packs, if not match pricing. We all want everyone to be safe. Our dealership will refill and test your packs for free if you purchase them from us. I have had to fill bottles for people who have purchased from big internet places like these! I suggest supporting your local dealers and they will support you!

Thanks for posting this. I emailed them as well and they honored the price. I placed my order a few minutes ago!

Thanks everyone, that saved me a pile of cash.

Cool - I love mine, going from a float 30 I can't tell it is there.

I was wondering about the different year 18 also, but they only had a demo model last year. I bought a tunnel bag this year and carry very little in my pack (shovel and mittens and heat packs).
