Backpacks with airbag system - practical helpers in an emergency

An airbag backpack can do much more than a conventional ski backpack. The backpacks specially designed for ski tourers and Freeriders come with an integrated avalanche airbag, which can ensure that the buried person is found more quickly in the event of an avalanche or, ideally, can free themselves from their emergency situation.

Find backpacks with an airbag system for relaxed ski tours at XSPO

Airbag backpacks can complete the avalanche protection equipment of off-piste skiers. Visually, these rescue devices hardly differ from conventional ski touring backpacks. The decisive difference is the integrated avalanche airbag. This airbag consists of two signal-colored balloons, which are usually attached to the side of the model. In an emergency situation, the airbag can be triggered by a pull.

If you want to buy your avalanche equipment online, you will find a well-assorted selection of different storage options in the XSPO ski store. Customers have the choice of opting for a simple model and retrofitting the avalanche airbag or choosing products that are ready for immediate use. A new development is a model that has airbags positioned behind the head.

For skiers who love deep snow adventures, these products should be part of their standard equipment. Avalanche airbags increase the chances of a buried person surviving, as the body volume increases in a matter of seconds, increasing the chances of remaining on the surface. This means that the skier is immediately visible to the rescue services. As these products also offer sufficient storage space, they can of course also be used for all other adventures on the slopes.

Together with an avalanche transceiver, Probe and shovel, touring ski airbag backpacks are part of the basic equipment of every skier who ventures into deep snow far from the slopes. This equipment has been proven to save lives in the event of an avalanche and is therefore essential for every responsible winter sports enthusiast.
