Snowpulse - Freeride 10L

Product Information

The Snowpulse Freeride pack is perfect for day skiing and carrying your safety equipment. There are pockets for shovel and probe and enough capacity to carry a set of skins and a harness as well as other necessary bits. On the outside there are ski and board carrying systems and an ice axe attachment point. The main feature of the pack is the airbag system. The Snowpulse Freeride has an airbag located inside the shoulder straps as well as a compressed air cylinder located in the backpack. In the event of an avalanche, pulling the handle initiates the inflation of the airbag. The gas from the pressurized cylinder combines with the surrounding air (in a Venturi effect) and inflates the airbag in 3 seconds. When the airbag is inflated it helps protect the wearer from injury especially to the head and chest area, and acts as a life jacket, lifting the individual to the surface and on the back with the head facing out of the snow. The Snowpulse backpack significantly increases survival chances in case of an avalanche and is part of the safety equipment that should always be carried along with a transceiver, probe and shovel. Snowpulse has a full certification for flying with a charged canister in hold luggage.
