From REI:
"REI Members: Save 20% on One Full-Priced Item. Ends 3/30/08 Code: MEMDEAL AvaLung II is a remarkable filtration device that draws air directly from the snowpack, allowing you to breathe if trapped in an avalanche. Increases the surface area from which you breathe; air is pulled in by a mouthpiece attached directly to the apparatus. Exhaled carbon dioxide is directed out the exhaust tube to ensure fresh air supply and to prevent an ice layer which could seal off the oxygen supply. AvaLung II has repeatedly been shown to provide an air supply to buried test victims. Worn over your clothing, the lightweight sling does not impede breathability or add warmth, so it can be used in all weather conditions. User must be able to get the mouthpiece inserted before avalanche debris restricts movement; snowpack or injury can prevent its use. As with avalanche beacons, AvaLung II is not a substitute for wise assessment of hazardous avalanche terrain."
