In high alpine terrain, weight is not just a number. It means energy, speed, and ultimately safety! The newly developed Plume 30L avalanche backpack from Arva combines vital safety features, an optimized carrying system, and robustness in a radically lightweight design. Weighing only 1.450 g (including the Reactor airbag system and carbon cartridge), this backpack is your new high-precision tool for experiencing the mountains with intensity, ambition, and dedication!

The backpack is made of Allula® Graflyte, a composite fabric originally developed for high-performance sailing regattas and aerospace applications. It is seven times stronger than standard polyamide for the same weight. This allows for a chassis that is radically efficient yet can withstand ski edges and ice axes. In addition, the monofabric made of high-performance polyethylene is ultra-light, extremely durable, waterproof, and recyclable. This results in weight savings without compromising on volume!

Equipped with the Arva Reactor 2.0 system, which includes two independent, functionally placed airbag balloons, your safety is doubled in the event of unforeseen avalanches and emergency situations! Weighing 650 g, the Arva Reactor airbag system is one of the lightest and most powerful dual airbag systems on the market. The shape of the airbag balloons protects the head and optimizes buoyancy in an avalanche. Thin, strategically placed foam pads ensure ideal carrying comfort. The ergonomic release handle design and positioning ensure optimal handling.

A latest-generation ultralight back panel guarantees high wearing comfort. An adjustable leg strap and a hip belt with two extra-large quick-access pockets guarantee an optimal fit. The innovative carrying system allows you to transport all your touring accessories. Two ice axes can be attached to a removable holder, and the side carrying handle (A-frame) is particularly suitable for wide skis, ensuring better weight distribution. A removable diagonal ski attachment is also possible. The backpack is compatible with a helmet holder (not included). The lightweight shoulder straps feature a stretch pocket that can hold a 500 ml bottle and is compatible with a drinking tube.

Large front access allows you to quickly and easily access the main compartment at any time. Inside, elastic straps for securing safety equipment ensure perfect organization. Large zippered openings to both compartments facilitate handling and organization. In the event of small tears after intensive use, robust 3M self-adhesive patches (included) allow for quick and easy repairs, thus extending the life of the backpack to a maximum. If necessary, the carrying straps and accessories can be removed for even easier touring.

With the Airbag Plume 30L avalanche backpack from Arva, you can travel with ease and safety in the mountains. So you can enjoy the winter!
