The BCA Stash 12 is built for riders who want a proper snow pack without hauling more bag than the day calls for. Its compact, low-profile shape sits close to the body for resort laps, sidecountry hits and shorter backcountry missions, with enough room for the essentials and the right layout for snow-specific gear. Inside, separate shovel and probe sleeves keep rescue equipment organised and easy to reach, while external carry options handle skis or a snowboard when the terrain gets awkward. The recycled 600D ripstop construction keeps it durable without making it heavy, and details like hydration compatibility, BC Link routing, a front accessory pocket and stashable webbing make it a tidy, functional pack for moving fast in the mountains.

About BCA Backcountry Access was founded in Boulder, Colorado in 1994 by committed backcountry riders with a clear focus on making mountain travel safer and more accessible. BCA helped push avalanche safety forward with the first digital multi-antenna transceiver and has since built a full range of trusted beacons, airbags, radios, shovels, probes and technical packs. Their gear is made to be reliable, straightforward and easy to use when conditions are serious, backed by a strong commitment to snow safety education and better decision-making in the backcountry.
