    ABS Powder Backpack - Review

    Thanks for all the additional info Dave! I took all the info I had posted about the advantages of the twin bags from the ABS site but may have paraphrased it to sound...off? Don't suppose you guys took video of this F350 experiment? That is insane!

    ABS Powder Backpack - Review

    Thanks :) The Twin Bag system that ABS uses definitely has it's advantages over a mono-bag system, like the Snowpulse or other manufacturers as well... The idea behind ABS' bags is that the two bags on the backside actually help to keep your body flat on the snow rather than...

    What all do you consider must haves in your backpack?

    Tampons. They are an excellent fire starter, dip it in your fuel tank and voila you are ready to start a fire...provided you have a spark of some sort ;)

    Avalanche air bags

    This is actually a bit inaccurate...ABS uses a completely different system than any other bag on the market and their technology is definitely a step ahead. No other manufacturer uses this state of the art technology that is proven to stand up against the freeze/thaw cycles we see in mountain...

    ABS Powder Backpack - Review

    Thanks! Glad you think so! I agree, trying out a pack is definitely ideal...even if you can try one on that is loaded up so you get a good feel for it on can make the world of difference. At about 1 lb lighter...my neck/back/shoulders are pretty happy with the Powder :) Crazy how we don't ever...

    Do you wear an Avalanche Air Bag in the Mountains

    Callele88...here is the ABS maintenance recommendations from their site, they recommend an annual blow off of the bags which would mean replacing the activation unit/handle; it is also recommended that you have the entire bag system checked over by ABS every 3 years. The expiry on canister is...

    ABS Powder Backpack - Review

    One of the top comments I hear time and time again from people looking at avy packs and talking about avy packs is not knowing how they are going to fit, if they are lightweight and how much stuff they can fit in them... Well...let me tell ya was Saturday the best day ever for me...strictly...

    Free Trade

    This is the manufacturer of the lawn mower or sled's way of protecting their Canadian dealers from people cross boarder shopping, it has nothing to do with the North American Free Trade Agreement. You only pay out big $$ to companies that are DB's and use the excuse of 'importing is...
