Ortovox Avabag LiTRIC Tour 40
The Ortovox LiTRIC Tour 40 offers a lot, and we're not just talking about volume. Fed up by traditional compressed gas cartridges, the LiTRIC Tour 40 uses supercapacitors driven by lightweight, lithium-ion batteries. This allows for multiple deployments in the field and easier travel, seeing as you can bring it along in your carry-on. If you find yourself wanting a smaller liter pack for shorter day tours, simply zip on the 30L pack, and continue about your day. The airbag stuffs easily into the airbag pocket without any need for intricate folding techniques. To help prevent the airbag from accidentally breaking free from its pocket, even when the pack is stuffed to the brim for a multi-day hut trip, Ortovox created an ingenious Lock System, that ensures the airbag springs from its storage pocket only when called upon. For steep booting sections, the diagonal ski carry allows for quick and secure attachment while the removable helmet carrier lets you bring along a helmet. From multi-day hut trips in Canada to lapping the glorious powder staches in Japan, the LiTRIC Tour 40 will happily do it all.

Questions & Reviews
The back panel measures right at 20 inches. Thanks!
What to choose?
Ortovox weighs 2606 grams, and BD weighs more than 3000 grams (mine is only up to 3000 grams)
First impression - Ortovox has more options for adjusting to the back, but the battery and engine are placed high, so it's strange feeling when the backpack is empty.
Moreover due to the construction of the Jetforce system, BD seems larger than Ortovox - but only from the outside
Its my understanding that this bag was "recalled" last year for some issues with the capacitor/inflation mechanism. Any idea what kind of work was done to fix these issues, and/or the likelihood of a similar issue?
This bag looks great, but want to make sure if something comes up I'd be able to return it or exchange it. Thanks for you help, always enjoy your company's work.
Yes, all the Litric bags produced by Arcteryx/Ortovox were recalled in Europe last year to address an issue with the inflation mechanism. In the US technically there was not a recall because they were never distributed (the manufacturers turned them around before they got into the market). This issue has been addressed in the packs that we're getting for this model year. We have confidence that the issue has been resolved and that Ortovox has done its due diligence in making the product safe. In the unlikely event that there are further issues, Ortovox warranties its bags for up to five years and we will support you through the warranty process. Buy with confidence!
