Splitboards are now available like sand by the sea. Every season, tried and tested boards remain on the market, new ones are added and others disappear again. Different manufacturers try to stand out from the crowd with different designs and shapes in order to be seen in the ever-growing splitboard market. In the end, everyone has to decide for themselves which criteria are the most important when buying a splitboard.

At an outrageous 1.5 kilograms including the airbag unit and carbon cartridge, the bright orange Mammut Ultralight RAS 3.0 airbag backpack stands for uncompromising lightness. It is a fully-fledged ski touring backpack with a stated packing volume of a proud 20 litres and all the attachment options you need in the backcountry.
