Avalanche Air Bag Add-On — Avalanche air bags are expensive and traditionally integrated into a backpack. The North Face built a strap-on air bag system, the Modulator ABS, to allow a user to integrate the technology into almost any pack.

The product consists of two pods, which contain the avalanche airbag system and nitrogen canister, and a harness system that can be yoked to a backpack and the skier wearing it with webbing shoulder straps and leg loops. ($1,000; fall 2015)
