ABS Vario - Base Unit with cartridge, 30L + Ultralight 18L

**roundabout** · 11-12-2016, 01:17 PM

Up for sale is an ABS Vario base unit, silver edition. Purchased last year, fortunately never had need to pull it. Included is an unused cartridge (would need to figure out shipping for long distance sale), trigger, and two pack attachments - a 30L and an ultralight 18L. 18L is great for shorter/lift-serviced side country days while the 30 has enough space for a day out. I was impressed with the carry options and little touches. The base unit is a size "small" for torso length < 19in. I am 6'2" with more height in my legs and right on that 19" border, and had no issues or discomfort. Base unit is in great shape, only real sign of wear is on the front of the 18L pack from ski carry (the little smudge below the "abs" logo in the last pic).

Asking $350 net + shipping. Currently located in Moraga, CA 94556.

Do you know you know how much the 30l system weighs complete with base unit, canister, and ballon?

Just threw the pieces on the scales, here goes:

Base unit weight: 5lb (weighed on bathroom scale, so presumably 4.6lb or more, all addition done using the full 5lb)
Cartridge is marked at 591.88g - approximately 1 lb 4.6oz (weighed on kitchen gram scale)
30L zip-on pack: 707g - 1 lb 8.9oz (weighed on kitchen scale)

Total the 30l system is 7lb 13.5 oz., or right around 3560g.

The 18L Ultralight cover is advertised as 1 lb, so total setup with that would be 7lb 4.6oz.
