AVABAG LITRIC TOUR 40

This backpack is amazing! I brought this on a single day push of the Spearhead Traverse in Canada and loved it. With how voluminous it is, I was worried about center of gravity being off, but I didn't feel it at all! the side cinch straps help you cinch the pack down close to your body so you don't feel off balance. I loved the ease of use for the ski straps - making transitions to boot pack really quick. I appreciate the pockets on the inside to help keep your gear organized. The pack was comfortable, and honestly did not notice the weight at all. The colors are great too :)

I use this pack with both the 30L and 40L zip on bags. I use the 30L for single day touring, slackcountry and snowmobile riding. I use the 40L for multiday touring and when conducting rescues as a part of search and rescue. Overall this is a great pack. When comparing it to the arcteryx version or other airbags it fits the happy medium for me of being lightweight, good compression system, simple compartment layouts, and how you can open the whole main compartment so you don't have to rummage through the pack. Now the negatives. The chest strap seems to be poorly designed. It is adjusted on a slider but as such it's impossible to tighten it very much as it works its way up as you move until it's resting on your neck. After just 15 days of use the one side of chest strap has come off the rail. Repeated emails to Ortovox inquiring as to how to fix it have been ignored leading to me getting a local company to sew on a new chest strap. I took one star off for the design issue of the chest strap and another for not getting any responses from customer service or the warranty department. Ortovox makes great stuff but compared to other companies making similar things (arcteryx, norrona, mammut, black diamond) they fall very short on their customer service.

Das wichtigste zuerst: Ich habe den Airbag noch nie gebraucht :-) Zum Rest kann ich nach ca. 10 Touren sagen, dass + trägt sich gut + sieht gut aus + Auslösegriff lässt sich in der Höhe verstellen - Position der Schlaufe für Seilhalterung ist ungünstig: Mit fixiertem Seil lässt sich der Rucksack nicht mehr ganz öffnen - Material ziemlich wasserdurchlässig: Nach einer Tour mit 4 Stunden Schneefall war das Wechsel-Shirt im Rucksack leider nass. Auch wenn der Rucksack mal ein paar Minuten im Schnee steht wird es innen feucht. - Was ich etwas vermisse, mich aber arrangieren kann ist ein Brillenfach

in general I'm satisfied with the product, unfortunately the front material ion the backpack s not strong enough and in consequences when you attach skis after few usage there are the holes in materials....

Best Avabag ever! I work as a full time mountain guide which finds me mostly backcountry ski guiding in the winters in Utah. I have been riding with the original canister avabag since it came out and I am so stoked on the new Litric system. Yes, it's light. Yes, it's compact. Yes, the pack carries better and is more comfortable. But the things that really have be excited are the little things.... * Mechanical closure of the balloon compartment! This is huge, no more having the burst zipper open when you don't want it to * Stuff-able balloon. Folding up the balloon in the backcountry was not easy. This makes testing or demonstrating the pack to avalanche students so much easier, not having to fold the balloon back into the compartment * Easy plastic buckle and crotch strap carabiner. I had a climbing rated carabiner on the strap of my old pack, this one is lighter, plenty strong and easier to use with gloves on. I love that it has a place to clip it and I don't ever have to fiddle with a metal belt buckle again. * New deployment handle. This thing is amazing. I am really tall 6'7" (200cm) and so having the adjustability of the trigger position is huge. Not having to zip the trigger into a pocket for the safety is also so nice. This pack is amazing, its easy, light and functional and I know from my previous Avabag that I used for 6 seasons, that it will last a very long time.

Ausgezeichneter Rucksack. Ich spare mir ca. 0,5 Kg ggü. meinem alten Kartuschenrucksack und der Fit ist super. Einzig was ich nicht verstehe ist wie die Seilfixierung und die Snowboardfixierung angebracht werden soll. Habe auch keine Fotos/Videos dazu gefunden. Vielleicht kann hier das Ortovox-Team ein wenig Schützenhilfe nachliefern :)
