ARVA Airbag Backpack Ride 18 Switch burgundy
The ARVA Airbag Backpack Ride 18 Switch burgundy is a compact freeride airbag pack designed for freedom of movement and efficient safety organisation in the backcountry. The RIDE series was developed together with freeride professional Léo Slemett. Its REACTOR 2.0 airbag system uses two separate 75-litre airbags and operates without electronics or batteries. Thanks to SWITCH technology, the airbag base can be combined with compatible SWITCH COVERS to adapt the pack to different missions. LOW PROFILE keeps the system compact, while 3D-FIT allows adjustment of back length, shoulder straps and trigger position. The cartridge is not included.
