Airbag:
ABS TwinBag System: In the event of an avalanche, deployment of an airbag system helps the victim stay higher up in the debris, so they are more likely to come to rest on the surface than buried deep down. ABS's TwinBag system deploys two independent airbags on either side of the bag, providing 170 L for increased surface area and insurance against system failure.
The cartridge contains only non-hazardous, non-flammable gases found inside the atmosphere at an internal pressure of 330 bar.
Fill and outlet valves are located on both airbags to suck the ambient air into the airbag automatically when the ABS TwinBag system is activated.

Refill:
