I think the main difference is the design of the airbags themselves. This pack uses Snowpulse's older airbag system. For the new RAS, they went with the same airbag placement as ABS, which leads me to think it works better. Bottom line, either system will be better than no airbag. Go with the pack you like. Also, if you die in a slide because you listened to me, please, no hauntings.
