The A.LIGHT TOUR ZIP-ON 18 backpack from ABS is designed for ski touring, freeride and splitboard skiers looking for avalanche safety. It comprises an airbag base with two independent balloons, plus a removable 18-liter cargo area attached by ABS Zip On. The top section is equipped with a Roll Top opening that adds 5 liters to the overall volume.

The Easy Tech release system is well thought-out and allows the use of steel or carbon compressed air cartridges. The release handle is cable-connected to the mechanism, which can be easily disconnected for transport or storage.

Ergonomics have been adjusted for maximum carrying comfort and optimum bag retention. Several straps are available for side-carrying your skis or splitboard, as well as a diagonal carrying system. You'll also find plenty of loops for attaching ice screws and other climbing accessories.
