ABS AVALANCHE BACKPACK SYSTEM
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)
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 sepa-
rately so you can choose your pack and also purchase replacement airbag and activation units. For
