The FLEX FRAME is the back panel of your airbag backpack. It is compatible with the ARVA REACTOR airbag system (not included).

It incorporates everything that has made the REACTOR FLEX concept so successful: a rigid, ergonomic back panel for optimal support, high-density foam for long-lasting comfort, a precise 3D-FIT adjustment system to adapt to all body shapes, and an integrated ice axe holder on the waist belt to keep your equipment within easy reach.

Tested to withstand a 500 kg load and TÜV GS certified, the FLEX FRAME delivers exceptional levels of safety, reliability, and durability. A robust, upgradeable platform, ready to accommodate the ARVA REACTOR 2.0 system.

Please note: the ARVA REACTOR airbag system is not included. The FLEX FRAME REACTOR cannot be used on its own. It must be paired with a FLEX COVER pack to create a complete backpack.

Always within reach

Renowned for its ergonomics and intuitive handling, the ARVA REACTOR trigger handle is height-adjustable and fits perfectly thanks to the 3D-FIT system. It can be mounted on either the right or left shoulder strap according to your preference, and stored in a zippered pocket to prevent accidental deployment during transport, handling, or when operating outside avalanche terrain.
Long-lasting comfort

Designed for long days in the mountains, the FLEX FRAME features a rigid ergonomic back panel that provides excellent support and stability, even when carrying heavy loads. Thick foam padding and durable materials ensure lasting comfort season after season.
Gear loop on the waist belt

Some tools should always be within easy reach. That's why the FLEX FRAME features a dedicated ice axe holder and an attachment loop for quickly securing essential equipment. A simple, reliable system designed for fast action in the field.
3D-FIT

The 3D-FIT system provides fast and precise adjustment for optimal comfort, regardless of your body shape or preferences. Simply choose S, M, or L to instantly adjust the back length, shoulder strap length, and REACTOR handle position for a perfect fit.
Load tested: 500 kg

Safety is our highest priority. The ARVA REACTOR system features seven anchor points and has been tested to withstand loads exceeding 500 kg, far beyond the requirements of the EN16716 standard. During testing, a tensile force is applied between the inflated airbag and a test dummy wearing the backpack to ensure exceptional real-world strength.
Leg strap

Provides additional security by keeping the backpack firmly attached to your body in every situation.
TÜV GS certified

Tested and approved by the German TÜV SÜD laboratory, ensuring outstanding manufacturing quality and proven reliability according to the industry's most demanding standards.

Through our SWITCH technology, you no longer need to choose a single volume or design for your avalanche airbag backpack. Outfit yourself with a SWITCH BASE unit and several SWITCH COVERS to change pack volume in a fraction of a second, so that you can take just the right pack for the day’s outing in the backcountry.

Its takes only a fraction of a second to change one SWITCH COVER for another to configure your ARVA REACTOR avalanche airbag backpack to the day’s outing.
Evolving and durable

As part of our overall approach to sustainability, we have designed these packs to last as long as possible. The ability to change covers means that you only need to purchase one airbag system, back panel, and shoulder strap unit, which are the components that have the greatest impact on the environment.

Wether choosing a bigger pack unit to carry all the essentials for your next big outing into the backcountry or simply renewing part of your system, no need to purchase a brand new backpack.
Low Profile

Through our new, innovative LOW PROFILE technology, we decided to completely revamp the design our REACTOR avalanche airbag backpacks by integrating the airbag into the pack itself.

The latest generation of packs designed with our LOW PROFILE technology means a more compact size, enhanced load distribution, and new features like the option of carrying skis in an A-Frame.

The TOUR range is the best weight/functionality ratio for touring addicts.

Available in 25, 32 or 40(+10) Liters, they will allow you to climb lightly without compromise.

1 SINGLE SYSTEM FOR ALL OUR RANGES OF AIRBAG BACKPACKS

Two airbags are safer than one!
The lightest avalanche airbag system on the market

The ultimate inflation system

Two airbags are safer than one!

We developed Flex technology to allow you to change the carrying capacity of your ARVA REACTOR avalanche airbag backpack in just a few seconds based on need.

Choose an additional FLEX COVER element to create the pack that best suits your needs.
The lightest avalanche airbag system on the market

Weighing in at just 650 g, our ARVA REACTOR 2.0 airbag system is the lightest airbag system on the market across all categories.

Made in France, the avalanche REACTOR Airbag System is designed exclusively for ARVA backpacks.

We oversee the entire process, from design to production, to provide you with the highest level of performance and safety.
Positioning is important

The most powerful system on the market, its compact size, and position in the backpack guarantee uncompromising balance and safety.

The shape of our airbag protects your head and optimizes lift in an avalanche.

The position of the airbags increases the surface area. It also helps the body return to the surface, and the airbag volume plays an important role in pulling the body upwards.
The ultimate inflation system

As 60% of airbag backpack releases occur when the skier is caught in an avalanche, it is essential to have a system that can inflate under stress.
