Product Info

An excellent choice for sidecountry exploration, the Ortovox Base 20 ABS Airbag Pack has loads of handy features and functions. Made from highly abrasion-resistant materials and offering 20 liters of storage space, this pack is designed to be lightweight, durable and practical. There are a multitude of ways to fasten your skis, snowboard, snowshoes and/ore ice axe to the pack, as well as a removable helmet net. Ortovox has plastered the pack's interior with bright colors, making your gear much easier to grab in low light conditions. There is also an internal hydration sleeve, and an insulated shoulder strap to keep your drinking tube from freezing. A necessity for rowdy sidecountry laps in avalanche terrain, this pack is compatible with the M.A.S.S. airbag activation unit (sold separately).

Product Details

Material

Nylon 420D BallshadowThe distinctive ripstop interlocking thread pattern and a PU coating for greater water resistance result in higher abrasion protection and tear strength. From a visual perspective, the relief-like surface structure has a very technical appearance. It is a design that doesn't compromise longevity.

Nylon 840D BallisticThis strong yarn provides a great deal of abrasion protection and ensures longevity. This weave gives the fabric additional robustness and protects it from damage. Ideal for the ABS Series packs in areas which are expected to endure large applications of force.

HypalonOrtovox was one of the first companies to use hypalon in the construction of their packs. The material is now used anywhere that sharp, pointy things try to attack the backpack and backpacker alike. Hypalon is resistant to cold and virtually indestructible.

Water Resistant Zippers

Polygiene TreatedOrtovox uses polygiene in their backpack carrying system to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria. The material is washed in a silver chloride solution, causing the silver ions to become permanently fixed in the fabric.

WarningWearing an airbag backpack is no guarantee of survival in an avalanche. Backcountry travelers are highly advised to educate themselves in snow stability assessment, route finding, and companion rescue and carry all of the conventional avalanche gear in addition to the airbag.
