ABS Protection
ABS, short for ‘Avalanche Balloon Secutem,’ is renowned for its superior avalanche protection equipment. The pioneering ABS backpacks are designed to guarantee safe tours, create inspiring outdoor adventures, and, most importantly, save lives. During an avalanche, these unique ABS airbags deploy from the backpacks and inflate with gas, drastically decreasing the chance of burial beneath the snow. This German brand’s range also features handy ABS first aid kits for addressing minor injuries and scratches encountered on the slopes.
The concept for an avalanche backpack originated in the 1970s when a forest ranger remained on the snow's surface while carrying game in bags on his shoulders. In the 1980s, passionate skier and entrepreneur Peter Aschauser secured the patent for these backpacks, leading to the debut of the first fully operational ABS avalanche backpack in 1985.
With ABS avalanche backpacks that are both advanced and revolutionary, you can traverse mountainous landscapes and freshly fallen snow with assurance.
