Ortovox maintains their tradition of bringing the latest in avalanche safety technology with their new backpacks utilizing the ABS air bag system. ABS has been setting the standards of air bag systems and has been continually developing technology since 1985. WPS now offers the Ortovox avalanche backpacks, ABS M.A.S.S. unit (Modular Airbag Safety System), and activation unit separately so you can choose your pack and also purchase replacement airbag and activation units.
Advantages of ABS Twinbag technology:
Two airbags with separate air chambers provide double the safety
The twin bas provide additional volume and buoyancy and greatly reduce the probability of being buried in an avalanche (two balloons with a total volume of 170L)
Airbag inflates by triggering a reliable pyrotechnic-pneumatic system that fills the airbags in a matter of seconds
Visibility and freedom of movement are unrestricted even when the airbags are open
Wide contact surface (horizontal position) provides dynamic buoyancy and prevents immobilization at the avalanche runout zone
The inflated airbags are readily visible in the avalanche
After triggering, the system can be easily, quickly, and safely prepared for reuse (NEW activation unit required)
