A versatile base unit for any backcountry endeavor.

Unless you're made of money, having a separate airbag for everything from dawn patrols to multi-day hut trips doesn't make a whole lot of sense, at least not to your bank account. The ABS Silver Edition Vario Base Unit allows you to customize the size of your airbag anywhere from 8L to 32L, by simply zipping on one of the Vario Zip-on backpacks (sold separately). Lighter and slimmer than the Classic Vario Base Unit, the Silver Edition saves on weight while providing a low profile when fitted with the Silver Vario 18L Zip-on. 


Utilizing ABS's proven Twinbag system, this base unit provides instantaneous inflation thanks to the compressed nitrogen system that will maintain inflation even after impact with snow. Realizing that a major factor in avalanche fatalities is trauma, ABS's Twinbag system is also designed to help stabilize the body position to reduce the risk of injury, and prevents the accumulation of snow between the head and neck. The Silver Edition is also compatible with a Komperdell certified soft back protector for even more protection from trauma. 


The height-adjustable pull-cord can easily accommodate left or right handed riders, and the slim fitting neoprene hip belt is fitted with a leg strap to keep the bag on during an avalanche. Canisters (sold separate) must be refilled by certified ABS refill locations. This airbag system is NOT a guarantee that you will survive an avalanche; get educated, get the right tools, travel with partners, and be smart out there.
