Mammut

Ride Short RAS Backpack - 1708cu in

Fit is everything, whether it's a sock with toe and heel in place or an avalanche airbag backpack that stays put. So Mammut made the Ride Short RAS airbag backpack to fit perfectly people with shorter backs because when it comes to airbag packs, position and fit are imperative for optimal efficiency of airbag deployment and protection. There's a safety leg loop to further keep this pack in place. This pack is equipped with the RAS removable airbag system that features a large square airbag to help protect against head trauma in the event of a slide. It's also a bright orange that makes it easier for rescuers to spot you.

To support this pack, there's an adjustable aluminum V-frame and EVA back panel. A removable, padded hip belt makes lighter travel more streamlined. Other handy features include a front pocket to hold easily accessible avy equipment, gear loops, diagonal ski and snowboard carrier, and hydration compatibility. A padded goggle pouch and interior zip pocket organizes your gear and goodies for quickness and convenience. There's even an SOS label and emergency instructions in the event you need them. You probably won't.

Please note that this system does not include the Refillable Compressed Air Cartridge, which is available separately (MAM0939). And please remember, this airbag system is NOT a guarantee that you will survive an avalanche; get educated, get the right tools, travel with partners, and be smart out there.
