ABS-Backpacks are special high quality products from Deuter (a leading backpack manufacturer in Europe) The design is based on functionality, high quality materials and TÜV compliant manufacturing. Every ABS-Backpack has the same carrying system designed to withstand the high impact of an avalanche. The average tear resistance is 4x greater than that of regular packs. The complete ABS-System can be removed from the pack - in case the pack has been damaged - and be put into a new ABS-Backback.

The ABS-System with the trigger unit, as well as all models of the ABS-Backpack are in compliance with the PSA guidelines (personal safety equipment), are TÜV certified and therefore meet the criteria for the CE label.
