Guide 30 is the best-selling snowpulse pack and has received the focus of all the expertised attention of Snowpulse. The bagback is well known and highly valued among lots of mountaineering professionals and mountaineering enthusiast.

With one large compartment (hydration system compatible) and a second compartment to accommodate your shovel, probe and ski touring skins, the LifeBag 30L has ample space. There’s a pocket inside the large compartment for keys, glasses, etc, as well as two pockets conveniently placed on the hip belt.

On the front there are removable straps for snowboards or skis. In addition, the LifeBag 30L has compression straps with lockable buckles, an ice axe fixation and a detachable net for your helmet.

Snowpulse backpacks have a fully integrated, 150L airbag inside the shoulder straps and a compressed air cylinder which will protect the your head, spine and torso from trauma in the event of an avalanche. Pulling the handle (which can be kept in a zipped compartment to avoid accidental deployment) will inflate the airbag in 3 seconds.

Once inflated, the airbag will lift the wearer to the surface of a slide due to inverse segregation, keeping you safe from asphyxiation . The innovative shape of the airbag uses Heads-On-Top technology (H.O.T.) and keeps your face out of the snow, reducing the chance of shock. The airbag is brightly coloured so that rescuers will find you quickly and, when deflated, will create extra space in the snow to help you get out.

The back of the LifeBag is ergonomically designed and has a ventilation system with air channels. To further ensure comfort, the shoulder straps are quilted and the chest strap is adjustable.

  • Telescopic Handle.
  • Weight: 750g
  • Compact Handle Length: 37.5cm
  • Shovel Blade Width: 30 x 23 x 5 cm

The Professional Alu II boasts a unique design that turns heads and still manages to respond excellently to the toughest challanges.

Thanks to the torsion-free, forged aluminium/magnesium alloy the blade of this shovel is very strong and durable. The sharp, narrow edge will make easy work of even the hardest packed snow or ice and doubling up as an axe or hoe means the Professional Alu shifts snow fast.

The ergonomic T shaped handle makes this shovel ideal for left or right handed users and the anti-slip coating ensures you maintain a good grip whilst shovelling without wasting precious energy.

Primarily an avalanche shovel, and a top-of-the-range one at that, the Professional Alu is also an ideal shovel for a wide range of other uses including ski mountaineering, backcountry travel, free riding, snow study, or building kickers – just about anything you don’t need a super light pack for!

The Professional Alu II may be slightly bulkier than a plastic bladed shovel, but it is certainly best equipped to deal with hard snow or ice and will not let you down in when met with consolidated snow or avalanche debris.

Flexible probes are adequate for collecting snow-pit data and identifying crevasses, and we hope that’s the only time you ever need your probe. But when it’s time to locate a buried avalanche victim, a more fl exible or fragile model could be a fatal mistake. So even though our probes are as light as anything you’ll fi nd on the market, we’re most proud of the fact that they’re among the strongest and stiffest available.

  • Efficient shovel
  • Ideal for freeriders
  • Minimal weight 380g
  • Aluminium anodized shovel blade

The Snow Plume is for all skiers and freeriders who want a minimal weight and efficient shovel. It has a carbon handle and aluminum scoop, which is 1.5 mm thick.

Having the right shovel for your mountain adventures makes a dramatic difference, as studies show that the time to uncover a victim can be 16 minutes, using a beacon/probe/shovel, but can take as much as 50 minutes without a shovel. For this reason, the snow shovel is a key element, equally as important as the beacon in finding a buried victim.
