<p>This base unit pairs with a Vario Pack to make an avalanche safety flotation system. To activate, pull on the handle, and a nitrogen canister inflates a pair of airbags. They’re positioned at the back of the pack, wing style, where they won’t interfere with your ability to swim in an avalanche. With a combined volume of 170L, they may reduce the chance of burial and make you more visible if injured or partly buried.</p><ul><li>Airstripe back system with foam padding and breathable mesh material</li><li>Ergonomic hip belt with pocket</li><li>Infinitely adjustable chest strap</li><li>Single integrated leg strap</li><li>Easy docking to Vario Ultralight and Vario Storage Packs</li><li>Meets TÜV guidelines for extreme operational demands</li><li>Nitrogen canister is included.
