ARC’TERYX Voltair Airbag

Multiple Deployment Functionality, Powerful Inflation, Superior Performance
Statistically proven to increase the survival rate of skiers and snowboarders caught in an avalanche, airbag backpacks have become the new cornerstone of the backcountry snow safety kit.
Introducing the new standard in avalanche safety tools, ARC’TERYX proudly debuts its Voltair avalanche airbag, an advanced airbag backpack technology designed to keep skiers and riders at the snow’s surface during an avalanche event, reducing burial depth and increasing survival rate. Honored with the Ispo GOLD Award 2016/17!
Unlike traditional compressed air cylinder airbag systems that are limited to one deployment per charged cylinder, the ARC’TERYX Voltair airbag system is powered by a heavy-duty 22.2V Lithium- Ion Polymer rechargeable battery that allows the user to deploy the air bag multiple times.
Utilizing an advanced engineered centrifugal blower to fill the 150 Litre balloon, the Voltair system delivers more initial pressure than any other battery powered avalanche airbag system on the market. This superior system ensures the balloon deploys rapidly, consistently and continuously – even if small
tears or punctures result from colliding with hard
objects like trees and rocks.
Another exclusive advantage of the Voltair’s rechargeable battery is its high-grade automotive quick connector for convenient assembly of the system, while also allowing for the ability to disconnect the battery completely from the backpack in order to meet air transportation safety regulations.
