For backcountry skiers and snowboarders who leave the confines of the resort in search of heavier terrain, the Ortovox Free Rider 22L Avabag Kit Airbag is the wearable luggage of choice. It's form-fitting and low-profile for its capacity, able to pack 22L of gear around the AVABAG system (canister not included), and there are endless ways to customize its exterior carrying abilities. On top of this lightweight airbag system, there's a built-in back protector that's flexible and unobtrusive. If you're heading out on short- to medium-length tours with the goal of getting radder, this is a full-featured safety and storage powerhouse.
