Scott Patrol E2

The Alpride E2 system uses supercapacitors to power the airbag fan, meaning you don't need to carry heavy gas canisters or worry about refilling them. It is much easier to travel with by air, and you can test-deploy the system multiple times to practice without needing a recharge.

Yes, 38 liters is a generous size for serious freeride days and light overnight trips. It provides enough room for your safety gear, extra layers, skins, and food, though you will need to pack efficiently if you are planning a full hut-to-hut excursion.

The pack features a diagonal ski carry system, which is excellent for stability while hiking. While it is optimized for skis, snowboarders may find it less convenient as it lacks a dedicated vertical snowboard carry system.

Yes, it includes dedicated compartments specifically designed for your shovel and probe. This ensures that in an emergency, you aren't digging through your extra layers to find the tools you need immediately.

The deployment handle is fixed on the left shoulder strap. While it is positioned for quick, intuitive access, it is not adjustable for right-handed preference, so you should ensure you are comfortable with a left-side pull before heading out.

The pack is built with Cordura, an abrasion-resistant fabric designed to handle sharp ski edges, ice axes, and rocky terrain. It is rugged enough to withstand the wear and tear of daily backcountry use without compromising the integrity of the airbag system.
