Black Diamond Jetforce Pro Avalanche Airbag Pack

The Jetforce electronic fan system uses a high-powered fan to inflate the airbag, which allows you to practice deploying the pack multiple times without needing to buy or carry replacement cartridges. This makes it significantly easier to test the system and gain confidence in its operation before heading into the backcountry.

Yes, 35 liters is a versatile size that comfortably accommodates essential safety gear, extra layers, skins, and food for a standard full-day tour. If you need more or less space for specific trips, the modular booster pack system allows you to swap the main pack compartment while keeping the same airbag base.

The Jetforce Pro is designed to be travel-friendly, but you should always check with your specific airline regarding lithium-ion battery regulations before flying. Because it uses a rechargeable battery rather than a compressed gas cylinder, it generally avoids the strict hazardous materials restrictions often associated with traditional airbag canisters.

You can manage system updates and check the status of your airbag via Bluetooth connectivity using the Black Diamond PIEPS app on your smartphone. It is important to keep the firmware updated to ensure the system performs optimally and to troubleshoot any potential issues before you head out.

While the pack features a diagonal ski carry system, it is primarily optimized for ski touring. If you are a splitboarder, you may find the diagonal carry works for your split skis, but it is not specifically designed as a dedicated vertical snowboard carry system.

No, this specific model does not include a dedicated hydration sleeve or port. You will need to carry your water in a bottle or a separate insulated container inside the main compartment.
