With the third design-iteration from Mammut, the removable airbag system is the most reliable yet. It centers around refillable compressed air cartridges that are capable of filling a 150-liter airbag in less than 3 seconds. A large “T” deployment handle is easy to grab and now can be adjusted to the height of a skier. The handle folds down for stowing in the shoulder strap for travel through non-avalanche terrain. The airbag itself is an extremely tear-proof nylon produced with technology from the automotive industry. The Mammut removable airbag system is light, reliable, and flexible in its use with various Mammut backpacks.
