Arva Launches Lighter, Cheaper Airbag and Beacon for 16/17

Jeremy from Arva Snow Safety Equipment shows us around the brand's new offerings, including a new Reactor series of airbags, which comes in at under six pounds for the 18-liter version while also being offered in 24, 32, and 40-liter versions. The bags have dual chamber inflation and adjustable strap and torso elements to match any size body.

Arva is also launching the Axio beacon, which is the first avalanche beacon on the market with a full-strength third antenna. While the majority of beacons coming out now have three antennas, usually the third has a search range of just 8-10 meters; instead, Arva's new beeper has a third antenna with a range of 50-60 meters.
