ORTOVOX Avabag Litric Freeride 28 avalanche airbag, petrol blue

ORTOVOX Avabag Litric Freeride 28 avalanche backpack

Avalanche backpack designed for both skiers and snowboarders who want an avalanche backpack for the most demanding descents. LiTRIC combines the advantages of both electronic and mechanical systems. On the one hand, it enables multiple inflations per charge, and at the same time, its weight is comparable to the lightest mechanical solutions of rescue systems (systems with a pressure cartridge).

The backpack has the option of inserting a certified Clasp Spine Protector. You can attach everything you need for extreme freeride descents to the backpack, including 2 ice axes and a helmet. A highly durable and comfortable backpack that will fit you like a glove even at high speeds. Thanks to the tightening system and the wide waist belt, the backpack becomes a part of you and does not throw you off balance - the backpack perfectly hugs your back.

Back with the option of inserting a certified spine protector

A backpack with avalanche equipment must be carried with you every time you ride off-piste. Why not have a backpack with an integrated back protector? Add the Clasp Spine protector to it, which is a certified spine protector (with motorcycle certification) for a height of up to 200 cm. With a weight of only 200 g, it will not burden your back, but will help protect it. The Triple Flex Elements technology guarantees good flexibility of the protector, which will ensure the necessary comfort. The protector is compatible with all variants of the updated Free Rider backpack series. You simply put it in the designated pocket and your back is safe.

A backpack that blends with your body

The weight of the ORTOVOX LiTRIC FREERIDE 28 backpack is only 2590 g including the system. The backpack has a wide waist belt that you can easily adjust and the backpack fits exactly on your back. Wide and comfortable shoulder straps better distribute the weight of the backpack between your shoulders, back and hips. The spinal system is made up of memory foam padding in 6 zones. The backpack thus hugs your body and stays firmly in place during any aggressive ride. In addition, the entire contact zone of the back is covered with a practical softshell, which improves grip and at the same time prevents snow from sticking.

Equipment attachment options

Everything important has its place, and the equipment can be easily attached and removed using simple systems. At the same time, the backpack does not have any unnecessary straps that you can catch on while driving in the forest.

• skis/snowboard
• snowshoes
• 2 ice axes
• sticks
• helmet

Clear and practical pockets

The ORTOVOX FREE RIDER 28 backpack has several practical pockets:

You can get to the main compartment with a two-way zipper from the front of the backpack. Here you will find a compartment for the water reservoir and the outlet for the tube that leads to the shoulder strap. The chamber is light-colored so that you can see the equipment even in poor lighting conditions.

The second chamber serves as a safety avalanche pocket. There are pockets for avalanche equipment - shovel blade, shovel handle and probe. The wet equipment is thus separated from the rest of the things. The bag has intentionally prominent zipper pulls so that they are immediately visible in case of an emergency.

There is a small pocket in the front for a map, compass and other navigational equipment. There is also a plastic carabiner for keys in this bag.

Emphasis on the durability of the backpack

The backpack is made of 100% recycled polyamide material with 400D resistance and without the use of PFC. In this way, you will help the environment in which you like to move so much, and you will also get an extremely durable backpack. This material stands out for its great resistance to abrasion and water. The interior has bright colors for better visibility even in poor conditions or in the dark.

Always choose the most suitable backpack

The avalanche backpack with the LiTRIC system consists of two parts. A backpack bag is attached to the BASE (back system) with the LiTRIC rescue system. This guarantees the universal use of backpacks from freeride in the center to the weekly Haute route. You can easily throw it on using the perimeter zipper and side straps.

Basic division of AVABAG LiTRIC backpacks:

• TOUR SPECIALIST
• FREERIDER
• MINIMALIST (without ZIP ON-SYSTEM)

AVABAG ZIP ON - SYSTEM

1 LiTRIC - 2 back systems TOUR BASES and FREERIDE BASES (always in 2 back lengths). 4 different bags can be zipped onto each system. Use the backpack for multi-day hikes, e.g. TOUR 40 and go freeriding with the Freerider 18 backpack. You can attach a backpack with the FREERIDE system to the TOUR back system and vice versa. Provided that its length is observed (E.g. the TOUR 28 S ZIP bag can only be attached to the shortened "S" back system, e.g. from the AVABAG LITRIC FREERIDE 16 S backpack).

TOUR SPECIALIST

Avabag Litric Tour 30 - 4 colors + 2 colors of ZIP-ON bags

No restrictions when flying

The liter can be transported by air without the need for paperwork, unlike systems that require a can of compressed air. Supercapacitors are passive elements with energy content. According to IATA rules, passengers can take up to 15 such items for personal use on the plane, each of which must fit within the 100 Wh limit. The Li-ion battery in the LiTRIC has a capacity of 7.4 Wh.

Intuitive activation and locking

The trigger or activation handle can be activated really quickly. Just turn it 180°, alternating the activation position with the locked position. It is easy to do with one hand and there is no danger of unwanted activation, e.g. while riding the cable car. In addition, it can be adjusted to 3 height positions on the strap.

To the fluffiest powder

You definitely don't have to worry, it will work even in really severe frosts. Activation is possible down to -30 °C. So you can enjoy the most fluffy powder.

Easy to inflate, pack and lock against unwanted opening

After activation, easy deflation and packing, like a sleeping bag in a package. No folding and necessary procedure according to the instructions. The airbag compartment fuse (mechanical latch) ensures that this bag does not open unintentionally, e.g. when falling. It is a secondary fuse after the trigger. For its own 150l airbag, the technology of two-layer material is used, which brings reduced weight and increased tear resistance. The safety key included in the backpack is used to deflate the inflated airbag and is used to unlock the system so that it can be deflated and folded quickly.

Easier fastening of the buckle and safety strap

The security strap between the legs is made in bright orange color, for a quick and clear check of the correct securing before the descent. The purpose of the strap is to prevent the backpack from being pulled off the body in a moving avalanche. Thanks to the design of the safety strap, the buckle of the waist strap can be conveniently clicked, as is common with non-avalanche backpacks. The snap buckle of the loincloth thus fundamentally increases user comfort, especially when unfastening it quickly before getting on the cable car.

A supercapacitor is a capacitor with a very high electrical capacity

Unlike a battery that uses electrochemical reactions, a capacitor stores energy through a static charge. A supercapacitor is ideal when a large output of electrical energy is required for a short period of time. This is exactly what an avalanche backpack fan needs to fill the airbag with ambient air. With LiTRIC, the energy source is an integrated Li-Ion battery, which you know from a mobile phone. Recharging is very simple - via the USB-C cable that is included in the package. Charging takes 2-3 hours. It is possible to activate the airbag twice for one charge, but after the first activation it is necessary to wait approximately 25 minutes for the supercapacitor to regenerate and the second inflation to take place without problems. On the side of the backpack, in the place of the system, there is a mesh window through which you can see the traffic light, indicating the charging status of the system (Green / Orange / Red).

Comfortable back system for all-day wear

The spine system is made of 3D pressed memory foam. The back is softer to better follow the movement of the body and not push any edge. The shoulder straps and hip belt are sewn directly onto the back system, so the weight of the full backpack is distributed evenly. The chest belt stabilizes the shoulder straps, which you will especially appreciate when skiing.

Back size "regular"

The backpack was adapted for people with an average back length of 42-50 cm - for a figure of approximately 170 to 195 cm. The length is calculated from 7. cervical vertebra to the upper part of the pelvis. The backpack is not only modified in the length of the back, but also changes in the shape of the shoulder straps and adjustment of the waist belt. The backpack thus fits perfectly and holds more firmly on the back.
