Imagined with Léo Slemett, Freeride World Tour Champion.

Looking for the airbag backpack that offers you optimal freedom of movement? The SWITCH RIDE18 is the companion you need.

The featherweight of the RIDE18 AIRBAG will impress you: only 2.25kg, including the airbag system and a carbon bottle.

Its features have not been neglected either. The RIDE18 AIRBAG is equipped with a helmet holder and multiple options to secure skis, ice axes, poles, or a snowboard. The quick-access pocket on the outside is optimized for your avalanche safety gear, but it can also accommodate your climbing skins for the descent. Additionally, to simplify the organization of your backpack, you will find a safety pocket and a mask pocket separated from the main compartment.

Furthermore, equipped with the ARVA REACTOR 2.0 system, the lightest, most compact, and high-performance double airbag on the market, your powder outings gain safety with the SWITCH RIDE18.

Finally, the RIDE18 AIRBAG is an environmentally friendly playmate: 100% of the fabrics used in the RIDE series are recycled. We use recycled polyester 300D as well as 150D recycled polyester linings. RIDE backpacks are also PFC FREE.

Arva x Léo Slemett : Better with Altitude

"These are the words that best describe my life philosophy. Born in the Chamonix mountains, I grew up surrounded by snowy peaks, which became my playground and passion. My intensive skiing practice from a young age led me to the highest level of sports, including a world championship title and multiple expeditions. The mountains are my daily training ground, but also my driving force. However, they can quickly become dangerous, even for the most experienced."

The ARVA brand accompanies me daily in my high-level freeride skiing practice. As the first tester of their avalanche safety equipment, this collaboration for the development of the new RIDE range was a natural fit. Now it's your turn to play with more safety!"
