ABS Protection
ABS, which stands for ‘Avalanche Balloon Secutem,’ is renowned for its top-tier avalanche safety equipment. The cutting-edge ABS backpacks are crafted to facilitate secure touring adventures, foster inspiring experiences in the great outdoors, and most importantly, protect lives. During an avalanche event, the unique ABS airbags in the backpacks deploy and inflate with gas, greatly reducing the risk of being buried beneath the snow. This German brand’s product range also features handy ABS first aid kits designed to treat minor injuries and scratches encountered on the slopes.
The concept of an avalanche backpack emerged in the 1970s when a forest ranger managed to remain above the snow while transporting bagged game slung over his shoulders. Passionate skier and entrepreneur Peter Aschauser secured the patent for the backpacks during the 1980s, leading to the creation of the first fully operational ABS avalanche backpack in 1985.
