Available in 11L, 28L and 40L packs, the JetForce is the first Avalanche Airbag Technology to use jet-fan inflation, which draws air from an unlimited source – the atmosphere. The battery-powered jet-fan inflates a 200L airbag
in 3.5 seconds, followed by tear recovery bursts.
The airbag automatically deflates after three minutes to create a potential air pocket.
What really makes it stand out is that it is capable of multiple deployments (four per charge). Here’s a real situation: one of our number messed up a couloir and set off a slow slide. Wearing a one-shot pack, he held back figuring it wasn’t going anywhere. As it happened, it wasn’t. With a multi-use system, he’d have pulled.
Oh, it’s air-travel friendly, too.
