Arva EXPLORE 30 Airbag Backpack - PURPLE: Safety and Lightweight Design for Your Mountain Adventures

The Arva EXPLORE 30 Airbag Backpack - PURPLE is designed to meet the demands of ski touring and splitboarding, combining a 30-liter capacity with a high level of safety. Its ARVA REACTOR 2.0 airbag system prioritizes reliable deployment while keeping the overall weight in check to ensure mobility in alpine terrain. Thanks to its optimized construction and a design tailored for mountain gear, it supports you on your freeride adventures with a clear focus on safety. The ARVA EXPLORE 30 airbag backpack is designed for enthusiasts seeking a modern avalanche solution ready to adapt to the evolution of their routes.

REACTOR 2.0 Airbag System and Controlled Avalanche Safety

At the heart of this airbag backpack is the ARVA REACTOR 2.0 airbag system, specifically developed for avalanche risk management in ski touring and splitboarding. Its design aims to provide an effective deployment solution while minimizing added weight, weighing 1,950 g with the airbag system and 1,300 g without, to maintain a good balance between safety and freedom of movement. The pack is TÜV GS certified and complies with the EN16716 standard, ensuring that the device meets a testing and validation protocol specific to avalanche airbag packs. This approach provides a protective volume in the event of a snow slide while maintaining a pack that is functional for everyday touring.

Carrying comfort and 3D-FIT ergonomic adjustment

To maintain precision in your trajectories on unpacked snow, carrying comfort plays an essential role. The Arva EXPLORE 30 - VIOLET airbag backpack features a 3D-FIT system designed for ergonomic adjustment to your body shape, promoting even load distribution during ski touring approaches and turns. Measuring 50 cm in height, 30 cm in width, and 22 cm in depth, it features a compact design that stays close to your back to minimize bouncing on the terrain. This design helps stabilize your center of gravity—a key advantage in freeriding when your balance is challenged—while providing ample space for essential gear.

Internal Organization and Carrying Ski Gear

The 30L volume is designed to accommodate both your climbing gear and your avalanche safety equipment. A dedicated safety pocket keeps the shovel and probe isolated in a designated space, ensuring they’re easy to locate when needed. A quick-access compartment makes it easy to grab certain items without fully opening the pack—a valuable feature in changing weather conditions. The airbag pack features a diagonal ski carry system as well as an A-Frame side carry system; these two configurations allow you to adjust the ski attachment based on the profile of the ascent or sections of mountaineering on foot. An integrated helmet holder completes this setup, keeping your helmet accessible while freeing up internal space.

• 30L capacity: ideal for ski touring trips with safety gear and a change of clothes.
• Dedicated safety pocket: quick access to the shovel and probe for a more organized response.
• Diagonal and A-Frame ski carrying: attachment options suited for traverses, couloirs, and mixed approaches.
• Quick-access compartment: easier retrieval of accessories without disrupting the contents.
• Integrated helmet holder: optimized helmet transport while keeping the main volume available.

Recycled materials and durable construction

The bag’s construction relies on technical fabrics designed to withstand the mechanical stresses of mountain activities. The 100% recycled 420D and 630D polyamide used for the exterior offers good abrasion resistance, a key factor during repeated contact with snow, edges, or rock. The 150D recycled polyester inner linings contribute to the internal structure while aligning with a commitment to recycled materials. This combination of robust, recycled textiles supports the airbag pack’s durability while keeping weight down, enhancing the balance between avalanche protection, longevity, and lightness for your backpacking and freeride adventures.

Compatible Systems and Versatility on the Trail

To meet the needs of regular users, the ARVA EXPLORE 30 airbag backpack is compatible with the SWITCH modular system, allowing you to use the same airbag system with different pack volumes depending on your plans. Compatibility with hydration systems simplifies water management on both ascents and descents, keeping hydration accessible without disrupting the fit. This airbag backpack thus stands out as a comprehensive tool for ski touring and splitboarding, capable of adapting to the evolution of your mountain outings and your gear choices throughout the season.

By choosing the Arva EXPLORE 30 Airbag Backpack - PURPLE, you’re opting for an airbag backpack designed for ski touring and freeriding, combining functional capacity, a certified airbag system, and recycled materials. A solid technical foundation to tackle your avalanche routes with reliable gear and head into the mountains with greater peace of mind.
