The DB x Safeback Snow Pro 8L Vest uses a fan-powered unit to circulate clean air straight to the user’s airway in the event of an avalanche burial scenario. On average, avalanche survival rates begin to plummet when the victim has been buried for 10 minutes. This vest provides usable airflow to the victim for up to 90 minutes. Gearheads Chris and Cam explain how the vest works, highlight key features, and demonstrate Safeback’s impressive system. While avalanche safety devices like this one can be a good last resort, it’s essential to get the gear, education, and knowledge you need before heading into avalanche terrain. Know before you go!
