Truckee, CA (November 6, 2013) – If you ride in the backcountry, be ready; be prepared for the moment. Jones Snowboards continues
to push this belief front and center with the new Snowpulse Removable
Airbag System compatible 30L R.A.S. Ready backcountry pack. The new 30L
R.A.S. Ready Pack will be available to consumers Fall/Winter 2013 in
select shops around the world.
Weighing in at 6.7lbs when loaded with the R.A.S. (Removable
Airbag System), the new Jones 30L R.A.S. Ready Pack has all the
technical features of the standard Jones 30L pack combined with
additional pockets that hold the Snowpulse R.A.S. system (R.A.S. airbag system sold separately by Mammut).
The 30L’s R.A.S. system utilizes a removable compressed air canister
that allows you to use the pack with or without the airbag installed.
The R.A.S. air canister sold in North America is refillable so you can
deploy the bag for transit before a trip and then refill the canister at
a refill center at your destination. In Europe, the R.A.S. canister
must be exchanged at a Mammut dealer once used.
“From the beginning the expectation was set high from Jeremy
Jones that these had to be the perfect backcountry packs,” says Alexei
Tcherepanov of Lowercase Designs. “We worked closely with Jeremy and the
Jones team on user and field testing to design the original 30L/18L
packs to get the perfect fit and function in the backcountry. In adding
the airbag system option, we absolutely could not make any sacrifices in
the performance and so we selected the Snowpulse R.A.S. system because
of its versatility and simplicity. These bags must meet a rigorous
testing standard by the European safety organization (TUV Institute) and
we were able to incorporate the added safety provided by the Snowpulse
system without compromising the function and other features that are so
important in the backcountry.”
A lightweight and technical snowboard or splitboard carrying
backcountry pack, the 30L R.A.S. Ready Pack features a large cargo
compartment, quick access avalanche tool pockets, padded waist straps
with dual hip pockets, fine adjustment shoulder straps, thermo molded
neoprene foam back padding, fleece lined goggle pocket, and a back panel
zipper for easy access to gear.
“The 30L R.A.S. Ready is the ultimate splitboard pack for all day
missions,” states Jones Snowboards founder Jeremy Jones. “When out for a
day it is common to have 30 or 40 pounds on your back. This is where
the pack really shines. The harness/carrying system handles weight
extremely well and fits everything you need in the backcountry
perfectly.”
Made from ultra
durable Dimension polyant ballistic nylon with aramid fiber, the 30L
R.A.S. Ready Pack will take a beating and keep performing in the
harshest conditions. The 30L is a full day pack that can carry crampons,
climbing rope, shovel, probe, snow saw, two axes, skins, an extra
layer, food and 70 ounces of hydration.
