ABS Protection
ABS, short for ‘Avalanche Balloon Secutem,’ is dedicated to producing top-notch avalanche safety equipment. Their pioneering ABS backpacks are crafted to ensure secure touring adventures, inspire unforgettable outdoor experiences, and, most importantly, preserve lives. In the event of an avalanche, the unique ABS airbags found within the backpacks are deployed and inflate with gas, significantly decreasing the risk of being buried beneath the snow. The German brand also offers practical ABS first aid kits designed for handling minor scrapes and injuries on the slopes.
The concept of an avalanche backpack originated in the 1970s when a forest ranger remained atop the snow while carrying a bagged game on his back. A passionate skier and businessman, Peter Aschauser, obtained the patent for these backpacks in the 1980s, leading to the creation of the first fully operational ABS avalanche backpack in 1985.
Equipped with cutting-edge and groundbreaking ABS avalanche backpacks, you can venture into mountainous landscapes and fresh powder snow with ease of mind.
