ABS Activation Unit / Canister Sold Separately

As the inventor of the avalanche airbag, ABS revolutionized winter sports in 1985. 35 years later, the product design is now completely renewed, following the principles of simple & safe - light & fast: The new A.LIGHT was developed for all freeriders, free tourers and Off-Piste skis who are looking for the best powder. Thanks to the unique ABS® TwinBags Plus system, two independent airbags release in an emergency in a volume-optimized form, which significantly

The new ABS A.LIGHT avalanche backpack was developed for all freeriders, free tourers and Off-Piste skiers looking for the next adventure. The avalanche backpack with airbag system presents itself not only in a new design, but also with many well thought-out and functional features. These features are ideal to support you on your next tour and to maximize your pleasure. Of course, safety comes first, so all safety features are marked in the red signal color. Like most avalanche backpacks, the ABS backpack also has additional features besides the airbag, which perfectly round off the product.

Safety compartment

The airbag backpack is equipped with an extra safety compartment, RescUnit. The RescUnit is an integrated safety compartment that offers space for safety equipment. Thus, the shovel, probe and first aid kit have a prefabricated compartment to make the best possible use of the storage space at backpack . This allows a compact stowage to have enough room for further equipment. With the Emergency Flap, this safety compartment can be pulled out in one easy step and allows immediate access to emergency equipment. This means that in the event of an avalanche, the avalanche backpack no longer needs to be removed and always remains on the body. This provides protection in case of another avalanche.

wearing comfort

The padded shoulder straps and special adjustable back padding ensure an ergonomic fit and optimum comfort. The special back padding protects against shovel and probe in case of a fall, and also offers an optimized carrying experience. An individually adjustable back plate with bendable aluminium braces in combination with the padded carrying straps ensure the perfect ergonomic fit and maximum comfort during ascent and descent.

Locking system

In case of a spill, it is of course essential that the backpack is firmly attached to the body. Therefore the backpack is fixed with a hip belt on one side and a chest strap on the other side. The chest strap with magnetic closure allows for quick and easy operation. In addition, the leg strap ensures that the avalanche backpack cannot be pulled over the head in case of an avalanche. This loop can be neatly stowed away in a special pocket in the hip belt for transport.

Extension system

During the construction of the backpack it was already taken care to avoid any unnecessary packing volume. This makes the backpack particularly compact, so there is no reason to do without an avalanche backpack in powder. The base already has a volume of 10 litres for all the essentials that you need to take with you on a ski tour. In addition, further equipment can be individually attached to the back of the backpack with the help of the straps. There is space for clothing, a helmet and the skis or snowboard. Nevertheless, there are days and tours on which more is simply needed. If additional pack volume is needed on a mountain day or a multi-day tour, the avalanche backpack can be flexibly upgraded with the new extension system with packs in two sizes (15l and 25l).

Additional features

The backpack has an insulated pocket that offers enough space for a mobile phone. This Protection Pocket not only provides quick access, but also prevents battery loss due to low temperatures. In addition, the ABS avalanche backpack can be customized with optional features. The helmet holder can be used to attach the helmet to the back of the backpack Especially when using the Extension Packs, this feature offers a storage possibility for the helmet. With the high-end helmet net, the helmet can be optimally attached in various positions on the outside of ABS backpack .There is no hydration system integrated in the avalanche backpack, but there is enough space at backpack to add any conventional system. The tube of the hydration bladder can easily be threaded through the shoulder padding.
