Airbag backpack, a must-have for high-altitude excursions
An airbag backpack is one of the most technical avalanche bags available. It provides winter avalanche safety for your high-mountain adventures. This bag is designed to keep you on the surface of the snow when an avalanche starts.
Before choosing this essential tool for your safety, you need to know about these backpacks. When an avalanche occurs, a handle is easily accessible to deploy the airbag. The airbag is a cushion that inflates within seconds around your upper body to lift you above the snow, and also protects your back and neck. There are different types of airbag:
-ABS system, which opens the side cushions explosively
-PAS system , like the airbag bag Mammut Pro X Removable airbag
-Jetforce system with the Black diamond Jetforce UI Pack airbag
-Avabag, this system is typical of Ortovox airbags. The cushion inflates evenly in a semicircle around the upper body. You can choose an avabag bag likeAscent, Crossrider,...
Reactor, Arva's airbag specialty, also inflates the balloon in a semi-circle around the upper body for optimum skier protection.
In addition to its safety role, the airbag backpack is also practical. These backpacks feature compartments for your other equipment and a special pocket for the airbag cartridge. Their weight varies according to the duration of your excursions and your airbag system. Depending on the duration of your expedition, you'll need to choose a bag with more or less bedding capacity. Among the must-have airbag brands are Mammut, Arva and Orthovox .
Enjoy the snow and the mountains, but your safety is paramount, so get your airbag backpack and hit the slopes!
