ASCENT 22 AVABAG Kit - AN EXTREMELY LIGHT AVALANCHE BACKPACK

The ASCENT 22 AVABAG is an extremely light avalanche backpack: including the Avabag system (the ORTOVOX Airbag system) and the cartridge weighs only 1950 grams. The ultra-light and ultra-compact airbag system weighs just 690 grams *. Another great advantage of the AVABAG system is the possibility of training without limits: without the cartridge attached you can trigger the unit whenever you want, to be more reactive in case of real danger.

The extremely low weight of the ASCENT 22 AVABAG was also obtained thanks to the Nylon 100D Robic Ripstop, an extremely light but at the same time anti-wear material. This airbag backpack is not only light, but is characterized by a high wearing comfort. The 3D viscous foam back system distributes weight evenly between the hip-height straps and the lightly padded shoulder straps. The circular front zip, which allows quick access to the equipment, the diagonal fastening for the skis, the ice ax fastening and the fastening for the rope make the ASCENT 22 AVABAG a technical avalanche backpack, extremely light and ideal for demanding ski touring excursions .

• extremely light and compact airbag system
