Curious on this product, and if anyone has experience with it. I think started in Europe, but Raide has introuced a SB version of both of its packs </p>

Pretty thorough initial review by High Route - https://the-high-route.com/safeback-sbx-first-look/ </p>
<p>
Pros seem to be first, prolonging survival time as a much more usable and effective avalung-like device and second, much lighter and more compact than a full airbag. Weight is about a pound and a quarter. Also in the Raide version, the SB unit is removeable. And presumaly easy to air travel with</p>
<p>
Con is that its not going to keep you above the fray and unburied. Any buried time is a total nightmare for me, but survival > dead </p>

(There is an existing safeback thread, but was just a twenty-twenty survey post with one reply in the Gen Discussion. Figured it warranted a new post in Slide Zone, now that product is actually out.)</p>
