Stay on top of the slide to stay alive.

Heading into the backcountry promises the reward of untracked snow, but it also includes the potential for an avalanche. Vastly improve your odds of surviving a slide by strapping on the ABS Avalanche Rescue Devices Vario 15 Backpack before starting up the skin track. Dual airbags can be quickly inflated in the event of an avalanche, helping you stay on the surface of the slide and increasing your visibility for an expedited rescue. Plus, the pack has room for your shovel and probe so you can help dig out other members of your party.
