Test conditions

Freeride alpine ski outing in La Clusaz with a bag release during the descent to test the features + efficiency.

The rucksack

This is a 24 or 34 litre bag. The bag is designed for freeride outings. It has what it takes to take what you need for a freeride day.

It has several compartments:

- the first one is accessible from the back, where the airbag battery is, and this is where we'll put our personal stuff (jacket, water bottle...). With a reminder of the conditions of use of the airbag system

- a pocket on the top of the bag to put easily accessible items such as mask, sunglasses,

- a pocket in the back of the bag with shovel and probe. Specific compartment for safety equipment. Don't forget when an avalanche has just occurred, to take your shovel and probe equipment and then immediately put your bag back. A second avalanche may occur again during your search. Theairbag will then be very useful.

- The Jet Force airbag is equipped with a chest and waist belt, so that you can adjust the setting according to your body type.

- In the left strap of the bag there is a zipper for wrist storage.

The Jet ForceAirbag System

- The first thing to do is to check that the system is properly charged. And yes, it runs on electricity. On the opening in the back of the bag next to the airbag battery there is a connection to be able to recharge it.

- When you press the handle for 4 seconds, the battery charge is indicated, and a noise makes you understand that the system is working. The green light should be flashing, this means that the system is working, you can pull the wrist down in case of an avalanche.

When an avalanche occurs or comes crashing down on us, just pull your wrist down and theairbag will be activated immediately. It should take between 20 and 30 seconds to fully inflate. Inflation is very fast

Pressing the button on the activation handle engages theairbag deflation system. After 3 minutes without use the airbag deflation system automatically deflates. In case you are caught under an avalanche this allows the victim to have an air pocket.

Storing the airbag is relatively simple and quick.

Conclusion

Pieps has developed a sophisticated and easy-to-use airbag system with the Jet Force. No need for a gas cartridge, it is an electronic system, a blower that will inflate your bag. An ideal bag for days of freeride skiing in alpine skiing.
