ABS Protection
ABS, short for ‘Avalanche Balloon Secutem,’ focuses on top-tier avalanche protection equipment. The cleverly designed ABS backpacks are crafted to promise secure touring adventures, foster inspiring outdoor experiences, and, most importantly, preserve lives. In the event of an avalanche, the unique ABS airbags housed within the backpacks deploy and inflate with gas, considerably lowering the risk of being buried under snow. This German brand‘s offerings also extend to handy ABS first aid kits for addressing minor cuts and injuries while on the slopes.
The concept of an avalanche backpack originated in the 1970s when a forest ranger managed to remain on the snow's surface with bagged game on his back. Passionate skier and entrepreneur Peter Aschauser obtained the patent for these backpacks in the 1980s, culminating in the creation of the first completely operational ABS avalanche backpack in 1985.
Equipped with state-of-the-art and pioneering ABS avalanche backpacks, you can relish the mountain landscape and pristine powder snow without worry.
