Avalanches kill more than 150 people worldwide each year. If you are caught in an avalanche you have a 37% chance of survival.
Avalanche airbags increase users survival rate massively, to 96%, but only 51% of people who ski/ snowboard in avalanche risk areas use these bags.
ALPAR is lightweight, comfortable, form fitting and affordable. With adjustable straps & flexible Nylon ALPAR will save lives and fit everyone.
