SnowPulse Vests are in!
I use to be a HUGE fan of OGIO vests as many of you may remember! But with the introduction of the airbag devices, I’ve been a big supporter of the systems and truely believe in them! They do work!
Now what I do miss is the ability to have my camera in my front pocket, along with some snacks (I love snacks)…
This vest is the answer. It has a full 15L pack on your back with plenty of external storage for your shovel, along with interior space for you Probe and the rest of your safety/comfort gear. It also gives you the added space of two main front pockets along with a great radio pocket and of course pull cord for activating the bag system.
This year also brings some great new technology similar to ABS. A replaceable spring actuated puncture disc intead of the older BCA type pressure pin. This new technology adds a few things at first glance. One being it is MUCH easier to pull. SnowPulse claims around 10 pounds of pulling force (MUCH lower then previous design). Also they kept their pressure gauge, which I am a big fan of. Also the new handle is much easier to grab, and just as easy to pack away!
Have a look through the photos and let us know what you think!
