Jetforce Tour 26L Backpack

Black Diamond's Jetforce Tour 26L features the new Alpride E1 airbag system, which is one of the lightest electrical airbag systems that's offered on the market. The system runs using supercapacitator technology, which replaces the traditional lithium ion battery to save weight and be less susceptible to changes in performance in very cold temperatures—a huge bonus when you're out in extremely cold conditions. No cartridges are necessary, making this system extremely travel-friendly, and you can also practice with it without having to worry about refilling cartridges, meaning you'll be better prepared in the event of an emergency. The Alpride E1 system easily charges in an hour with a micro USB, and can also be charged in about 40 minutes with two AA batteries while you're out in the backcountry. To make it more second-nature if you do ever need to deploy the system, Alpride designed the trigger so it can sit on whatever side you prefer.


With a generous 26-liter capacity, the pack itself has all the bells and whistles for a day in the backcountry. The main compartment accommodates your food, water, layers, and first aid kit, and the separate compartment for your shovel and probe keeps them quickly accessible. An adjustable hip belt with a stash pocket keeps your inclinometer or sunscreen close at hand, and the included leg loop prevents the pack from being pulled over your head if you deploy it during a slide.

great day pack

Familiarity:
I've used it several times
Size Bought:
m/l
Weight:
168

lightweight avy bag for a day trip. works great i didn't have any problems with leaking ink as mentioned by other reviewers. Perhaps they fixed that problem, or perhaps it doesn't happen in cold weather. the pack is spacious. plenty of room to overpack on a day trip. the waist belt is small. i need to take off my gloves to operate it. it is a bit inconvenient that the on/off switch is buried so far in the pack. but not that big of a deal. easy to repack the bag after it is deployed. i traveled with it and didn't have any issues going thru security as a carry on

Comortable, has all the right things

I work as an avalanche instructor, I got this bag so that I could demonstrate an airbag deployment to students as many are curious about airbags. Great to be able to do this and not need cartrages. I have a few cretiques in order of priority: Hard to get into the bag to turn it on when the pack is full or you are wearing gloves. 30L would be a better size and allow me to pack a puffy jacket. outer pocket is slightly small for some of the larger shovle blades out there.

Alpride E1 System is Great. Pack is ok at best

I have had this pack one week and it has already ruined a goretex jacket. The black dye leached into the jacket and even after hand washing the jacket is permenantly dyed. Really unhappy about that. Summary: Good pack, not really tailored to touring. I toured with this for 7 days 8-9 hours a day. The pack has good storage space, and the dedicated shovel/probe pocket is great. I would say this pack better suited to patrolling inbounds. That said it is a heavy pack with extra strap material, and superfluous padding that should have been cut for weight. (not padding between back and pack, but outside of pack facing the air) Pros: -Sturdy, well put together and should last a long time -Alpride E1 is amazing -Integrated helmet holder is clutch Cons: -Poor quality dye leached into jacket (really really big con) -Extra weight for a touring pack, should have cut some of the foam -Does not shift weight to the hips well, for touring your shoulders will get sore after a couple days with any real weight in the pack

Very light and comfortable

This aval bag is very different than my Mammut bag, so it took a little getting use to packing. Super comfortable touring with, but bucket is a little small, so difficult to use with gloves. There much more room it the main area than appears because of space above the fan. Wish it included a water bladder pouch.

Visual aids?

Seems like a nice pack. Where on earth can I find a video or photos explaining the pack with all the straps, and how everything sits on it? Especially the diagonal ski strap set up. Nothing in instructions.

Great for Day of Touring

Pretty pumped with this pack. Bought one last year for ski touring/patrolling and got another one dedicated setup for snowmobiling. Pack is light and easy to get in/out of. Took a bit of figuring and googling to understand the diagonal ski carry setup but once you get it it works great. Make sure to lock in your helmet strap in the helmet carry. Really like being able to test/practice the pulling motion - makes me feel more comfortable and prepared to use in a real situation. Also I like that it is easy to check the battery and you can recharge with new batteries on the fly or via usb in the truck/house or battery pack.. Unless you deploy, it stays charged for a dang long time - I have never had it lose charge on its own in a season (I do pull it every once and a while then have to recharge). Overall, love it, lighter and more simple to use than the canister packs in my opinion.

Very awesome! Great combination of features.

I bought one last year. The capacitor does its job well. I changed the AA batteries at the beginning of every month, light stayed green, ot was used approximately 45 days last year. I like smaller packs, makes it hard to take too much stuff. The pack has just enough room for the essentials. I tested it a couple times during the season, took the batteries out during the summer. I charged the capacitor at the beginning of this season and it is good to go. I wish the cord was USB-C. I am 6'8" the strap that goes between the legs isn't long enough for me so I added a carribeaner.

Light and rechargeable, but needs refinement

I've got a half season on this pack mostly for snowmobile use in Alaska. Pros: I love the size, weight, and the idea behind the supercapacitor. After an initial charge and installation of lithium Energizers I never did have to charge it again for the remaining 3 month season even after a few test discharges. Overall a decent pack that is definitely geared for the backcountry skier. Cons: I'd like to see pockets on each side of the hip belt. I'd like to see the on/off switch on the handle rather than in the main pocket. BD is not accommodating to snowboarders. I am not able to strap my board to my pack in ride mode. Would be tough in tour mode. SIDE NOTE: This model does not have an auto-deflate option and pressure maintenance like their jet-fan lithium battery system did. This is likely because a capacitor discharges extremely quickly. So the initial discharge is sufficient to fill the bag, whereas a battery system can discharge slower allowing for the pressure maintenance and deflate option. Thought y'all should be aware of this. So the trade off is weight savings for safety features.
