Are you looking for an airbag that provides you with just what you need and no more for your next day on powder? The SWITCH RIDE18 is the solution.
It is easy to organize all your gear with the pocket for safety gear and a pocket for your goggles that are separate from the main body. Weighing in at only 2.25 kg, including the airbag system and a carbon cartridge, the Switch RIDE18 Reactor is a robust bag with a long lifetime.
Nothing has been overlooked with this airbag. The RIDE18 AIRBAG comes with a helmet holder and multiple options for attaching skis, ice axes, poles or a snowboard. The quick-access pocket on the outside has been perfectly designed for your shovel/probe safety equipment, but can also be used to store your skins on the descent.
Equipped with the ARVA REACTOR 2.0 system, the lightest, most compact and efficient double airbag on the market, your days on the powder will be so much safer thanks to the SWITCH RIDE18.

Arva x Léo Slemett
"These words best describe my life philosophy. Born in the Chamonix mountains, I grew up surrounded by snow-capped peaks, and these became my playground and my passion. Having such intensive skiing practice from a very young age has taken me to the highest level in my sport, with the highlight a first world title on the Freeride World Tour and multiple expeditions. The mountains are therefore my daily training ground, but also my driving force. They can, however, suddenly turn into dangerous terrain, even for the most experienced skiers. Every time I go freeriding at a high level on skis, I always take my ARVA equipment.
As the first tester of ARVA’s avalanche safety equipment, this collaboration on the development of the new RIDE range therefore seemed like a no-brainer. And now… it's your turn to play it safer !"
