RECCO® system
This bag has a RECCO® reflector.
With RECCO® technology, you can be located in the event of an avalanche. Someone who is buried in the snow can be quickly and accurately located by the emergency services using the RECCO® tracker and reflectors. RECCO® reflectors are not a substitute for an AVD. The RECCO® technology works as a complementary measure, increasing the chances of being found in time.
Standard
The bag comes with foam back protection tested according to a standard (NF EN 1621-2) and compliant with European regulations. This foam aims to protect you from strong impact caused by falls when freeride skiing.
This foam is removable (BE CAREFUL no foam = no protection).
NOT SUITABLE FOR MOTORCYCLING.
