Quick overview

The extremely lightweight Ascent 38 S Avabag has been specially designed for women on demanding multi-day ski excursions and completes our Avabag ski touring line! As with the smaller models, the focus here is upon safety – which the Ascent 38 S Avabag achieves with ease and efficiency.

At 38 liters and with three inner pockets, our Ascent 38 S Avabag provides enough storage space for multi-day ski tours and ski excursions. The circumferential zipper on the front allows for rapid access to the entire contents of the main compartment. Emergency equipment can be stored in the separate safety compartment so that it can be reached quickly.

For demanding ski tours, a rope can be attached quickly and easily to the ascent-oriented avalanche airbag. Sleeping mats and sleeping bags can be quickly attached to the outside using the additional material loops. In steeper terrain, your skis can be attached securely and diagonally to the avalanche backpack using the D-skifix. Of course, there is also an ice axe and hiking pole fastening, and a fixed helmet net. The aluminum locking clasp, safety leg strap and chest strap with signal whistle and emergency card all come as standard.

In addition to safety and packing space, comfort also plays an important role, particularly for multi-day ski excursions: The soft, foamed 3D back system and reinforced straps ensure both stability and comfort. Lightweight yet abrasion resistant materials make the Ascent 38 S Avabag durable enough for rough terrain and numerous tours.

Ortovox Ascent 38 S Avabag for women has everything you need on multi-day ski tours and demanding ski excursions, and leaves unnecessary weight at home.

Details

With the required volume of only 1.8 liters, the AVABAG avalanche airbag system is both the lightest and smallest airbag system in the world. Another special feature of the AVABAG system is the activation training: you can practice activating it again and again without the cartridge attached, so that you can be well prepared for an emergency situation. One reason for the low weight of the Ascent line is the use of extremely light but abrasion-resistant materials such as 100D Robic Ripstop nylon. But this airbag backpack is not only light it also provides a high level of wear comfort. The foamed 3D back system distributes the weight evenly between the hip fins and the lightly padded shoulder straps. Features such as a circular frontal zipper that provides quick access to your equipment, as well as a diagonal ski attachment, an ice axe holder and a rope fastening, make the backpack what it is: a technical, ultra-lightweight avalanche backpack for challenging ski tours.

The advantages of the AVABAG system at a glance:

  • The lightest and smallest airbag system in the world
  • Activation training without cartridge
  • Handle design optimized for activation: the handle can be gripped with any type of glove, and is suitable for both left and right-handed users
  • Removable and compatible with all Ortovox Avabag backpacks
  • No electronics

Only 1.8L (1800 cm3)
The integrated Avabag avalanche airbag system is relatively small and lightweight.

 

Smallest airbag compartment
The smallest avalanche motor compartment in the world. The activation unit sits inside the Venturi, creating a completely closed and robust system which functions without electricity.

 

Effective
The innovative welding technology used to make the airbag ensures the smallest pack size at the same time as I'm improving its resistance to tearing and leaks.

 

Removable
The Avabag unit is quick and easy to upgrade and is compatible with all ortovox avabag backpacks.

 

360°
Avabag. Fully release-optimized thanks to ergonomic grip.

 

Non-slip
Ergonomic form in 360° design with a non-slip surface enables easiest release with all types of gloves and release grips for both left and right-handed users.

 

Adjustable
Two length positions guarantee individual adjustability. What's more, the front-facing grip improves ease of access, even in the case of awkward falls.

 

 

Storable
On the lift the grip can be stored in the zipped compartment on the shoulder strap without compromising comfort.

 

 

Burial Despite Airbag
Together with his team of experts, the Canadian avalanche researcher Pascal Haegeli analyzed 106 avalanche accidents that occurred with airbag users. The result was frightening - one in eight avalanche backpack users (12%) did not manage to activate the system during an avalanche. Regular training and our release-optimized grip can help to reduce this number in the future. Releases can be practiced as often as required without an installed cartridge to ensure that the wearer is able to react appropriately in a real situation. The AVABAG system can then be re-activated by using the pre-tension tool.
