What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I like this pack for lift-accessed freeriding and short tours where mobility matters. The LiTRIC system is incredibly intuitive, and not dealing with cartridges is a game changer for travel and repeat practice. The short back fits snug and close, and the freeride-focused layout makes it easy to grab gear fast." The Litric Freeride 16 S Airbag Avypack Backpack represents the future of freeriding safety. Ortovox built this system specifically for downhill-focused days, blending a compact, movement-friendly fit with a cutting-edge electronic avalanche airbag. From quick powder laps near the piste to committing freeride missions, this pack keeps the focus on the descent. At the core is the AVABAG LiTRIC electronic airbag system, which uses supercapacitors instead of cartridges for a lighter, more versatile setup. It charges quickly via USB-C, allows unlimited test deployments, and delivers at least two full activations per charge-even in cold temperatures. The CLASP BACK SYSTEM, paired with a shortened back length, keeps the pack snug and stable while maintaining full freedom of movement. Freeride-specific features like ski and snowboard carry, helmet net, front access, and dedicated safety gear storage round out a pack that's purpose-built for modern avalanche terrain.
