Ortovox and Arc'teryx Collaborate to Launch New Avalanche Airbag System

ISPO Award 2022 Winner: LiTRIC Avalanche Airbag System in Pictures

In service of alpine safety, the two mountain sports brands Ortovox and Arc'teryx have joined forces. This extraordinary alliance has resulted in a new, electric, and lightweight avalanche safety system - the LiTRIC. It will be used in the two brands' backpacks from October 2022 and has already been named an ISPO Award 2022 Winner in advance.

The combination of supercapacitors and lithium-ion battery allows reliable operation and fast filling of the airbag even in cold conditions.
