The preferred airbag of professional freeskiers and freeride competitors, the Scott Air Free 12L Pro Airbag Pack has everything you need for daily treks into the unknown and often unpredictable terrain that we spend our childhoods dreaming about. Equipped with the super lightweight and travel-friendly Alpride Airbag System, the Air Free 12L Pro doesn't require special airplane accommodations and uses much more affordable CO₂ and argon cartridges. Understanding that avalanches aren't the only danger in unexplored terrain, the designers at Scott integrated a D3O® back protector to stifle impacts and keep you riding after a big time botch. With a trail-running inspired shoulder strap system and an anatomically shaped hipbelt, the Scott Air Free 12L Pro Airbag Pack is so lightweight and comfortable that you'll only remember you're wearing it after it saves your life.
