Dustin from KLIM starts off by recognizing the ski industry’s quintessential role in researching and developing functional avalanche airbag backpacks but also found himself wishing there were bags with features that specifically catered to snowmobilers. After three years of R&D, KLIM is introducing their first ever powersports specific avy bags. If you enjoy ripping sleds in the mountains you should pour yourself a coffee, watch this entire video, and ask yourself if an avy bag is something should invest in (KLIM or any other):
We took industry-leading avalanche airbag technology and built it into a snowmobile-specific backpack for mountain riders. The 26-liter Atlas pack is designed around a multi-use electronic airbag system that is not affected by cold temperatures. Robust materials and construction prepare this pack for heavy powersports usage. Airbags help you float on top of a moving avalanche, reducing the risk of burial. Ride thrilling backcountry terrain with more peace of mind and quick access to necessary equipment.
