Highmark Spire LT
Avalanche Airbag Vest P.A.S.
The Highmark Spire LT 3.0 Avalanche Airbag Vest is a
revolution in technology for snowmobilers and features the latest in avalanche
airbag technology - Snowpulse 3.0.
The Highmark Spire is unlike any other Vest on the
market. It's made of a super lightweight
material that reduces weight, increases mobility and makes for a much cooler
experience - temperature wise and otherwise!
The Highmark SPIRE includes a Protection Airbag System (the kind that
deploys around your neck and chest), meaning that this lightweight avalanche
vest can provide Trauma Protection in the event of an avalanche, unlike any
other avalanche airbag on the market.
Snowpulse 3.0
Technology
Smarter. Better. Meet
the ultralight, ultracompact avalanche airbag system from Snowpulse. Featuring
an intuitive handle with adjustable height, new user-friendly set-up and the
lightest, most compact system ever designed by Snowpulse.
The Handle
In an emergency situation, deployment of the airbag needs to
be fast and intuitive. Studies have shown that in an extreme situation, many
users are over-challenged and do not manage to activate the airbag. Highmark by
Snowpulse’s new deployment handle is more intuitive to operate and is also
height-adjustable to allow it to be adapted to the wearer’s body height. The
deployment handle is now a bright orange color to make it even more visible.
The handle can be folded to allow compact storage in the shoulder strap.
The Inflation System
The Inflation System 3.0 found in the Highmark SPIRE Vest
describes the component used to deploy the airbag. The system activates the
deployment mechanism which opens the pressure cartridge with a pin and fills
the airbag. The integrated air volume amplifier also sends ambient air to the
airbag in addition to the gas stored in the pressure cartridge. One of
Snowpulse’s objectives for the new development was to bring the air volume
amplifier and deployment mechanism together in a single housing in order to
save space and weight. The inflation system is reliable, low-maintenance and
extremely user-friendly: just screw the cartridge in and you’re ready to go!
The Weight
The Snowpulse 3.0 is Snowpulse’s lightest airbag system of
all time and weighs less than 1 liter of water. Consequently, at less than 1kg,
this is the lightest system they have ever developed.
The Protection Airbag
System (PAS)
The Mammut® Protection Airbag System is the newly developed
version of the well-known Snowpulse® Lifebag System. The special shape of the
airbag and its clever integration in different backpacks are unique features.
The shape of the airbag protects the wearer’s head, neck and chest area from
mechanical injuries and in the event of an avalanche ensures an optimal
position by keeping the wearer’s head and upper body on the surface.
The Protection Airbag found in the Highmark SPIRE Avalanche
Airbag Vest can not only help to prevent complete burial, but it also offers
additional protection from mechanical injuries. In addition to the safety
features, we have succeeded in designing a completely “removable” airbag
system. This allows the user to swap on the system between several backpacks,
allowing him or her to always select the most suitable backpack for the
relevant application.
