ARVA Airbag Switch Extreme Bundle Ride 24 + Explore 40
The ARVA Airbag Switch Extreme Bundle Ride 24 + Explore 40 is a modular avalanche airbag set built for maximum flexibility between dynamic freeride days and longer tours with more equipment. It includes the SWITCH BASE REACTOR plus two interchangeable covers: the compact Ride 24, from a RIDE series developed together with freeride professional Léo Slemett, and the spacious Explore 40. Both use the same REACTOR 2.0 airbag system with two separate 75-litre airbags. Thanks to the SWITCH system, you can adapt pack volume quickly to your objective. The canister is not included.
