The Arc'teryx Voltair 20L Backpack is a protective piece of gear for adventurers that aims to keep them safe and secure when spending time exploring harsh conditions. The backpack is outfitted with a 150-liter airbag that can be deployed in the event of an avalanche to let wearers remain secure in the midst of a potentially life-threatening scenario. The airbag is also capable of being folded back up into the pack to be used again, which is unlike other varieties on the market that can only be deployed once.
The Arc'teryx Voltair 20L Backpack features a built-in power source that activates the centrifugal blower within to inflate the airbag in less than seven seconds with additional bursts of air every five seconds for enhanced safety.
