Mechanical airbag backpack pack -
The Airbag Switch Extreme Bundle Ride 24 + Explore 40 is an airbag pack from the brand Arva.
This model, compatible with Switch technology, consists of an airbag base Arva REACTOR and two easily interchangeable compartments.
Set off on a light and sporty hike but well equipped with the Ride 24 Switch Cover or, if you need more gear, with the Explore 40 Switch Cover for a longer hike! The bags are made using very durable and high-quality materials to meet the demands of the mountain. They are also 100% recycled.
The Ride 24 Switch Cover is designed to optimise your performance even during your most intense sessions. You can rely on various compartments, including the practical main zipped compartment, an external pocket to store your essential mountain safety equipment, and a secured pocket dedicated to optics. Finally, in terms of accessories, this 24-litre compartment features ski or snowboard carry, ice axe carry, and the Arva helmet carry.
As for the Explore 40 Switch Cover, it is a very complete 40-litre bag weighing 1350 grams. Moreover, it includes the same essential accessories, with an additional pocket for crampons or skins accessible without removing the bag, but with a much larger capacity than the Ride 24 Switch Cover. This ensures greater comfort on longer outings for even more performance and enjoyment.
The Reactor Switch Frame completes the trio. It is a vest that serves as a support for the Reactor airbag. It consists of two side pockets for the airbags, comfortable shoulder straps with a zipped pocket on the left side for the deployment handle, a padded back panel adjustable via the 3-in-1 3D-Fit system, as well as a central pocket for gas cartridges.
For those hesitating between all these excellent, ultra-reliable airbag packs, choose the Airbag Switch Bundle Ride 24 + Explore 40 and customise it as you wish according to the intensity and duration of your activity.
WARNING: this model is not supplied with deployment cartridges.
