FAST, LIGHT & SAFE.

This 28-liter backpack features fixed carrying straps and is resistant to any type of weather. The TOUR28 UL has XPAC fabric on the front panel to make this Ultra-light Airbag even more resistant during diagonal carry. Designed for "Fast & Light" backcountry skiing enthusiasts, the TOUR 28 UL REACTOR follows you efficiently in your most intense physical exploits without you having to miss out on the REACTOR technology. This is the lightest, most compact and efficient airbag system on the market.

ARVA’s years of experience in designing airbag backpacks is, once again, clear to see in this product. The TOUR UL range continues to break barriers in satisfying the needs of demanding backcountry skiers. Extremely lightweight, full functionality, durability and safety are the hallmarks of the TOUR28 UL.

With its ventilated mesh structure, it will provide the perfect fit to your body and sits as discreetly as possible to allow you optimal freedom of movement.

The elastic pockets on the waist belt and the shoulder strap provide immediate access to all the gear you need to get hold of quickly. Gloves, hat, skins, water bottle, flask, glasses… You will be surprised how much you can store for easy access!

Quick-access elastic pockets

So you don’t have to spend even a minute searching for gear, we have provided mesh pockets on the shoulder straps and waist belt.

These are very elastic, so everything you need is quickly at hand: gloves, hat, skins, water bottle, glasses...

There is also a mesh pocket on the shoulder strap where you can store a 500-ml flask or a small water bottle for immediate hydration.
ULTRA-LIGHT CONSTRUCTION

1,600 g, including the REACTOR 2.0 airbag system and carbon cartridge.

To achieve such a featherweight, everything has been redesigned and reduced to a minimum, without compromising on safety and comfort.
LOW PROFILE

With our LOW PROFILE innovation, we have reinvented the design of our REACTOR airbag backpacks by modifying how the balloons are integrated in the backpack.

The new generation of backpacks with LOW PROFILE technology comes with more compact volumes, improved balance as well as new options, such as A-Frame ski carrying.
Quick and easy A-frame ski carry

Attach your skis with just two clicks. Side carry (A-Frame) is particularly suitable for wide skis and provides better weight distribution on the backpack.

The use of a strap to connect the tips of the skis so that the tails are spread apart is generally recommended.
Daisy-Chain

Daisy Chain rings are extremely versatile and can be used to attach all kinds of accessories depending on what you use and need at any given time.
CORDURA recycled fabric + X-PAC fabric

Highly water-repellent and abrasion-resistant, our recycled CORDURA 210D fabric offers high-level performance and increased strength for a longer life than conventional fabric.

The X-PAC fabric on the front panel further increases the strength of this backpack, and is waterproof.
REACTOR 2.0 airbag system

Weighing only 650 g, our ARVA REACTOR 2.0 airbag system is the lightest airbag system on the market within all categories.

Equipped with two 75-liter balloons, you have double the safety in the event of an accident.

The most powerful system on the market, its compact size and position in the backpack guarantee uncompromising balance and safety.

REACTOR SYSTEM

1 SINGLE SYSTEM FOR ALL OUR RANGES OF AIRBAG BACKPACKS

Two airbags are safer than one!
The lightest avalanche airbag system on the market

The ultimate inflation system

Two airbags are safer than one!

We developed Flex technology to allow you to change the carrying capacity of your ARVA REACTOR avalanche airbag backpack in just a few seconds based on need.

Choose an additional FLEX COVER element to create the pack that best suits your needs.
The lightest avalanche airbag system on the market

Weighing in at just 650 g, our ARVA REACTOR 2.0 airbag system is the lightest airbag system on the market across all categories.

Made in France, the avalanche REACTOR Airbag System is designed exclusively for ARVA backpacks.

We oversee the entire process, from design to production, to provide you with the highest level of performance and safety.
Positioning is important

The most powerful system on the market, its compact size, and position in the backpack guarantee uncompromising balance and safety.

The shape of our airbag protects your head and optimizes lift in an avalanche.

The position of the airbags increases the surface area. It also helps the body return to the surface, and the airbag volume plays an important role in pulling the body upwards.
The ultimate inflation system

As 60% of airbag backpack releases occur when the skier is caught in an avalanche, it is essential to have a system that can inflate under stress.
