ABS Protection

ABS, short for ‘Avalanche Balloon Secutem,’ focuses on top-tier avalanche protection equipment. The state-of-the-art ABS backpacks are designed to ensure safe touring adventures, foster inspiring outdoor experiences, and most importantly, save lives. In the event of an avalanche, the specialized ABS airbags integrated into the backpacks deploy and inflate with gas, significantly reducing the risk of being buried under the snow. The German brand’s range also includes practical ABS first aid kits for treating minor scratches and injuries on the slopes.

The concept for an avalanche backpack originated in the 1970s when a forest ranger remained on the surface of the snow while carrying bagged game on his shoulders. An avid skier and entrepreneur, Peter Aschauser, acquired the patent for the backpacks in the 1980s, leading to the creation of the first fully functional ABS avalanche backpack in 1985.

With the cutting-edge and groundbreaking ABS avalanche backpacks, you can explore mountain landscapes and pristine powder snow with peace of mind.
