SAS-TEC Back Protection:

Do you usually suffer with back pain or want to keep your back protected at all times when skiing or boarding, this backpack has everything you need and more, the removable protector will protect you against slow or fast heavy impacts making it multi impact compliant.

Characteristics of the SAS-TEC Back Protector

Viscoelastic foam with memory effect - After an impact or any kind of deformation the foam protector returns to its original shape within seconds.
Multi impact compliant - Unlike many other dampening materials such as styrofoam (EPS), silicone or foam of inferior quality, The PU-foam is multi impact compliant.
Lightweight - High absorbability despite low density. Hard shell protectors or materials containing silicone are considerably more heavy which reduces the wearing comfort.
Adaptive absorption - The protector remains soft in case of slow impacts however when it comes to a fast heavy impact the resistance of the foam grows with increasing speed. The damping happens by air-changing in the foam-bubbles.
In impulse responding behaviour - SAS-TEC foam reacts promptly without any time delay even to minor impacts.
Environmental compatibility - The raw materials of the SAS-TEC foam production are partly made of renewable materials. It is therefore possible to dispose of the protectors with the regular household garbage.
Long product life - Some manufacturers of body protection only indicate a product life of two to three years their protectors, whereas SAS-TEC foam comes with a life expectancy of about ten years.

Recco Installed:

Built with safety in mind, Terrawest partnered with Recco (Advanced Rescue Technology) and included a Recco Reflector to the top of the backpack in order for search and rescue teams to be able to search for a victim in the case of an avalanche emergency situation.

Terrawest Core Light Shovel

Remarkably lightweight, practical and pack friendly, This 3 Piece Terrawest Core Light Shovel is the perfect shovel for all ski tourers and off-piste enthusiasts who want to be lightweight when carving through the snow but still place emphasis on their equipment.

Terrawest Core Light Shovel Composition:

Manufactured with modern production methods and extremely strong but lightweight materials, this shovel only weighs just 475 g. For the blade of the shovel, Terrawest used a high-end heat treated 5052 Aluminium that offers a weight-to-strength ratio and has non slip grooves to stop you from slipping when digging. For the Telescopic Stem, a 6061 Aluminium, this allows you to quickly make adjustments to the shaft and is very pack friendly

The telescopic function also means that the shovel can be used at full length, for maximum power, or at a shorter length for the greatest possible efficiency of movement in tighter spaces.

The blade offers high walls and a pronounced centre on the blade which allows you to carry a high volume of snow.

A classic T-Style grip offers a non-slip plastic material so digging is easier when wearing ski gloves

A Vibrant Blue and Safety Orange allows the shovel to be seen from a distance in the case of an avalanche accident.
