I’m still researching bags and not quite sure what direction to go. Kind of thinking fan but still understanding pros and cons of it all.
I’m pretty set on clothing but definitely want a polar tech alpha piece. Any recommendations? The dynafit one looks solid, but also checking out the BD insulated alpine start.

A big consideration for any airbag is how much space the airbag apparatus takes up from the total volume of the pack. For example, I have a 43L BCA canister bag and the canister and airbag easily eat up 15L or more. No way I could fit in a 36L version of the same pack. Throw in a puffy, layers, extra gloves, spare parts, tools, bladder, first aid kit, Avy gear, and im usually struggling to fit everything.
The newer designs with fans and cartridges etc are much compact and lighter, albeit, quite a bit more expensive.
