Good price for a BCA Float 36

[Snow Junkie]

I am looking at buying a 2012 BCA Float 36 for $375. Is this a good price? Are these bags too big and bulky or is that not an issue?

Thank you for your comments

fair

I sold mine at the beginning of this year for exactly 375. I liked the bag but upgraded to the 32 this year. I think the 36 is a great bag if you carry a lot of stuff.

I'll sell you mine for $500

I paid $819.99 plus shipping last year

If that comes with a canister for $375 it is a great price. The pack is a little big and only has one storage compartment, but overall it is a good pack.

375 is a good deal. However, I'm 6'2" and if I were to buy another one it would be a 32, might even go with a 22 depending on how much you want to carry on your back. I've run in to issues catching the goggle pocket on trees as it sticks up a bit. Other than that, its a good pack.

Bought it!

I ended up buying the pack, It does seem a little big, and it would be nice if there were more compartments but it came with the canister so I figured it was probably a good enough price that I should probably just take the plunge and get one. Looking forward to wearing it ( but not using it) as soon as my leg heals!
Thanks for the comments.

I love my 36, would not consider selling it for $375.

Holds all my stuff, I don't find it too big/bulky, shrug, I like it, a lot. Never "used" it, but I like it.

It feels enormously heavy moving it around, weight disappears once I put it on.

I'd buy a spare for $375, though!

Agreed

I agree that it does seem a bit heavy but once you put the pack on the weight becomes unnoticeable.
