Backpacks with an airbag system - practical helpers in an emergency
An airbag backpack can do much more than a conventional ski backpack. Specially designed for ski tourers and freeriders, these backpacks come with an integrated avalanche airbag, which can ensure that the victim is found more quickly in the event of an avalanche or, ideally, can free themselves from their emergency situation.

Airbag backpacks can complete the avalanche protection equipment of skiers travelling off-piste. Visually, these rescue devices hardly differ from conventional ski touring rucksacks. The decisive difference is the integrated avalanche airbag. This airbag consists of two signal-coloured 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-stocked selection of different storage options in the ski shop at XSPO. 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. The avalanche airbags increase the chances of survival of a buried victim, as the body volume increases in a matter of seconds, thus 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 piste.
Touring ski airbag backpacks, together with avalanche equipment consisting of an avalanche transceiver, Probe and shovel, are part of the basic equipment of every skier who ventures into deep snow far from the pistes. This equipment has been proven to save lives in the event of an avalanche and is therefore essential for every responsible winter sports enthusiast.
