Yes you heard it here first, Alpride have released a new Alpride E2 system for winter 22/23, partnering up with Mountain Giants such as BCA (Backcountry Access), Deuter, Scott and More. Snowsafe breakdowns everything we know so far:
The updated, fully electronic Alpride E2 avalanche airbag system, which features the latest super-capacitor technology, is one of the lightest electronic systems on the market and unaffected by low temperatures.
In addition to fast, high-pressure deployment, this proven technology has huge advantages when it comes to maintenance and transport compared to traditional cartridge-powered airbags.
An LED status display and trigger action on the outside of the bag makes it easy to assess the system and activate it. Operation is extremely intuitive and is easy to learn during pre-season practice sessions.
New E2 Features:
E2 Improvement:
The original Float avalanche airbags were designed to be light, affordable, and easy to refill. It has lived up to that since 2010, as the best-selling airbag line in North America.
BCA are taking it to the next level with the BCA Float E2 25 Kit and BCA Float E2 35 Kit
With the Float E2, there are no restrictions for airline travel and it’s possible to perform multiple deployments on a single charge.
The Deuter Alproof E2 Airbag is for freeride skiers who want a lightweight, technical avalanche backpack that’s built for the rigors of backcountry skiing.
Snug fit for better balance
The lightweight Deuter Alpine back system creates a compact, snug fit that keeps the load close to your center of gravity for better carry comfort and also provides effective airflow across the back.
Easy handling for extra safety
The waist belt, fully-adjustable ster-num strap and leg safety strap all work together to prevent the back-pack from being ripped off during an avalanche. The leg strap is also easily secured, without having to undo the waist belt.
