Creating buoyancy and helping you float to the surface, the 162-liter airbag not only decreases your burial depth but also protects your head and neck from trauma in an avalanche. Our Float E2 avalanche airbags use the Alpride E2 supercapacitor to store energy that powers the compressor upon deployment. Supercapacitors store and release energy based on magnetic energy rather than chemical reaction, making their performance fast and reliable in cold temperatures. The E2 system is TSA approved for hassle-free airline travel.


AA BATTERIES FOR ADDITIONAL DEPLOYMENTS

In addition to the supercapacitor storage, you can install two AA batteries to allow for additional deployments in the field. The batteries also help keep the supercapacitors at full charge when not in use.

  • AA alkaline batteries allow for one additional deployment and are capable of keeping the system charged for up to three months of normal use.
  • AA lithium batteries allow for three additional deployments and are capable of keeping the system charged for up to five months of normal use.
