With more and more snow enriching our lives, it is shaping up to be another banger year, especially compared to last year! With epic hikes and massive pow slashes in our near future, it’s time to make sure you’re all geared up to stay safe in the backcountry. There is a product that’s been in the mix for some time now, but has more recently been gaining lots of momentum. I am talking about airbags.
We at Salty Peaks want to make sure you’re well educated before you buy, so I am going to discuss the differences between the two airbag brands we carry, ABS and BCA airbags. There are many models of packs from both brands, but I’m going to narrow it down to the major differences between the airbag systems. First order of business, however, is to explain the importance of taking an airbag backpack into the backcountry.
