The Ortovox Avabag Unit is the replacement gas canister designed for Ortovox avalanche airbag systems. It provides the pressurized gas needed to inflate the airbag in the event of an avalanche, helping you stay on the surface and improve your chances of rescue.
This listing includes the gas-powered unit only, so you can swap it into your existing Avabag pack when it’s time for a refill. The gas type delivers consistent pressure for rapid inflation, and the test activation feature lets you verify that the system is working properly before you head into the backcountry. Having that ability to check your airbag’s readiness can give you added peace of mind on steep terrain.

Ortovox says about the Avabag Unit
AVABAG means total emphasis on protection! The extremely light and sensationally compact 690g* airbag system was achieved using innovative airbag processing technology. For the first time ever, the material has been processed without sewing and without additional waterproofing.
*Weight fluctuations of +/- 4% may arise during manufacturing.
COMPACT.
The AVABAG is a sensationally compact airbag system. Due to the small size, there is plenty room for other things in your backpack. The activation unit sits inside the venturi, creating a completely closed, robust system that functions without electricity. Dirt, ice and corrosion can all be excluded.
EFFECTIVE.
The innovative welding technology used to make the airbag ensures a small pack size while 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.
UNLIMITED TRAINING
Releases can be practiced a soften 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.
