What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I like this pack for riders who want a more dialed fit without giving up storage. The shorter back panel sits close and stable, and the LiTRIC system is fast to charge, easy to test, and simple to trust when things get serious."Built for riders who measure days by the quality of the descent, the LiTRIC Freeride S 26L Airbag Backpack blends downhill freedom with modern avalanche protection. This pack is designed around a shorter torso length, making it a great choice for smaller-framed riders who want a balanced, body-hugging feel while skiing aggressively in freeride terrain. With enough space for layers, food, and safety gear, it bridges the gap between quick laps and full day missions.At the heart of the pack is the LiTRIC electronic airbag system, powered by supercapacitors instead of cartridges. It charges quickly via USB-C, allows multiple test deployments at no extra cost, and remains reliable across a wide temperature range. The CLASP back system combines flexible padding, a wide hip belt, and soft shoulder straps to keep the load stable and comfortable on the climb and composed on the descent. Freeride-specific features like diagonal ski carry, snowboard carry, helmet net, and a dedicated avalanche tools compartment make this a versatile option for skiers and riders who want performance-first safety.
