Alpride E2

With the Dimension Avalanche Backpack, POC now also has an airbag backpack in its programme. The well-known Alpride E2 system with supercapacitors is used, which in this case comes in a POC backpack. We took a closer look at the combination.

The Alpride system, which is powered by supercapacitors instead of gas cartridges, avoids many of the usual disadvantages of airbag backpacks, such as the expensive and time-consuming replacement of cartridges. The system is also lightweight. We have tested the Scott Patrol E2 30 for you.

ISPO, an interesting but also very exhausting trade fair, has been moved from its usual date in January to the autumn. Nevertheless, we endeavour to provide an overview of market innovations at the usual time! As we were unable to scrutinise the material ourselves at ISPO, the information is based on press releases from the manufacturers, not all of which are sent out by any means. So: No guarantee for completeness!
