Made for those who spend most of their ski days in the backcountry, the Mammut Pro Protection Airbag 3. 0 Backpack has a lighter airbag design, more convenient carry system, and all the features you'd expect in a pack constructed for professional mountain guides.

The Pro has an easy access pocket on the removable hip belt to keep a compass, inclinometer, or other small gadget close at hand. Please note that this system does not include the ...
