POC

Thorax 11 JetForce Backpack

Canisters were the old standard for avalanche airbags, which made airline travel difficult and only gave you a single deployment—can you imagine being caught in a slide and debating whether you should use your one deployment now or save it for later? The POC Thorax 11 JetForce Backpack uses revolutionary new JetForce technology to inflate the 200L airbag in four seconds via a jet-fan inflation system; the following slow deflation of the bag will potentially create an air pocket in the event that you're buried in a slide. Best of all, the bag is easy to repack and can be used multiple times on a single charge, letting you be safe rather than sorry.

POC designed the pack itself to be a streamlined beast that won't get in the way of your shredding motion, while still being able to carry your goods and take the abuse that your skinning session and cat or heli trips dish out. The well-ventilated, ergonomic back keeps you feeling good, while the SwingArm shoulder straps allow for a comfortable range of motion, ideal for tweaking out your grab on that backcountry booter. features like internal organization pockets, glove-compatible zipper pulls, stowaway ski carry straps, and a helmet pouch show that POC designed this thing specifically for you, the hardcore backcountry rider.

Please remember, an avalanche airbag does NOT guarantee that you will survive an avalanche. It does not replace the need for a beacon, shovel, probe, and most importantly, avalanche knowledge.
