Airbag Arva Switch Extreme Bundle Ride 24 - Explore 40 Black

The Switch Extreme Bundle Ride 24 - Explore 40 pack includes a high-quality airbag backpack, supplied with an airbag and two modular packs to attach to the backpack as needed: a 24-litre pack and a 40-litre pack.

The Switch Base Reactor backpack is a modular airbag pack that serves as the foundation of the Switch system. It accommodates different capacity packs, allowing you to adapt the capacity without changing the ergonomics. Its dedicated airbag compartment, reversible trigger handle, and 3-in-1 3D-Fit adjustment system ensure stable carrying. The thermoformed back panel distributes the load, while the flexible shoulder straps, adjustable leg loop strap, and sternum strap with safety whistle secure the whole set-up. A removable hip belt lightens the configuration when required. Compatibility with a hydration system and a back length of 40 to 50 cm complete this EN 16716-certified base, ready to receive Switch packs.

The Reactor 2.0 airbag system is a mechanical dual-bag avalanche safety device designed to integrate into the Switch base. The patented Venturi mechanism enables rapid inflation in around 3 seconds, powered by a 300 bar cylinder (not included). The system volume takes up 2 litres inside the pack, while the two 75-litre airbags maximise flotation. The base’s reversible trigger handle works with this system to adapt to right- or left-handed use. The module weight remains low to preserve carrying balance, with reduced mass depending on steel or carbon cylinder choice. The mechanical design simplifies maintenance and preparation before heading out.

• Mecanical activation
• Airbag system volume in pack :2 litres
• Two balloons of75 litres each

The modular design of this bundle allows you to tailor your equipment precisely to your outing—whether it’s a day tour or multi-day adventure—without compromising comfort or safety.
