The minimalist for all ski tourers who want to be as light as possible but still want an airbag system
Is there a technical airbag backpack with a total weight of less than 2 kilograms? - Yes, the Avabag LiTRIC Zero from Ortovox. It’s the purist of the LiTRIC line and still has all the essentials. With 27 litres of storage space, it offers enough space for touring and emergency equipment and has all the important attachment options for skis, splitboard, poles and an ice axe with compression straps. It also has a clear safety compartment, is hydration system compatible and is equipped with a removable helmet net.
Safe, electronic release system in case of an avalanche emergency
The electronic LiTRIC airbag system is extremely light, easy to operate and offers the highest possible level of safety through the multiple release ability. The activation handle has a rotating function, which avoids false activations, e.g. if you get caught into something. Its height can also be adjusted. With the battery switched on, the runtime is about 60 hours, so you’ll have enough buffer and won’t need to charge it on multi-day tours. A quick charge only takes about 25 minutes and is possible via a USB-C cable and a power bank.
Go on tour as light as a feather
The back system of the airbag backpack is extremely light but also comfortable. The backpack is great for long ascents to the summit and fast descents down into the valley. It will keep you balanced and follow your every movement.
The Avabag LiTRIC Zero from Ortovox is the ideal airbag backpack for ski tourers who want to stay light and safe.
