Avalanche airbags backpacks? Not any more, as we now have these avalanche airbag clothing developed by The North Face. This innovative vest has integrated a nitrogen-based airbag system from German manufacturer ABS, and it is built with airbags in both the front and the back, to provide the wearer a full protection whenever it is activated to work. Furthermore, as soon as the airbags pump out, they will immediately increase the user’s surface area so that he will float on top of the moving snow rather than get trapped by it.
