The Dimension Avalanche Backpack is Swedish POC’s most advanced backpack, so far. The well-renowned protection, eyewear, and apparel manufacturer POC release another innovation-packed product for their fall winter 2022/2023 collection.
Besides the new and advanced Alpride E2 Electronic Airbag System, the Backpack is packed with Swedish techs like RECCO and Twiceme, making it the perfect tool to support enhanced protection and backcountry adventures.
Dimension Avalanche Backpack
The Dimension Avalanche Backpack is durable, innovative, rechargeable, smart and hassle-free. On the face of it, the backpack may have a classical design. A closer look reveals the advanced design and carefully selected integrated technologies.
As a whole, the backpack is designed to be comfortable, and the clear aesthetic serves to underline a key development idea; that the backpack must be intuitive to use, especially in extreme conditions and in emergencies. All this without compromising on performance or quality.
protective features
The backpack pushes the bar for protection on backcountry adventures given the airbag and passive transponder tech
This backpack from POC marks the world’s first of its kind and the first backpack in the world to be made smart through Twiceme.
Together with the other protective features, the backpack pushes the bar for protection on backcountry adventures given the other protective features like the airbag and passive transponder tech from RECCO.
Applying Twiceme as a tech feature in backpacks and other outdoor gear addresses a long-expressed need for rescue teams from across the globe. Rescuers simply love that Twiceme solves one of their biggest issues and POC is one of the brands that has embraced their feedback and delivered what they want.
several advanced technologies
POC plays a major role in Twiceme's mission to empower all bystanders to become helpers through the awareness and adaptation of HTH (Help The Helpers) technology. Their range of Twiceme-integrated products is so far the largest in the world.
The Dimension Avalanche Backpack may be a premium-level gear that incorporates several advanced technologies, and as usual, POC has made every effort to be at the forefront of innovation.
What Twiceme is hoping for, however, is that this backpack can inspire more equipment producers to recognize the benefits and to take the leap of making their gear smart through Twiceme, to take consumer safety to the next level.
Packed with Advanced Technology
Twiceme
Access to this safety information will give first responders a clear, efficient way to make decisions
Twiceme is an integrated technology that allows users to store personal safety information in their gear. Data such as allergies, previous injuries, insurance information, emergency contacts, and more can all be uploaded to the user’s profile via the Twiceme app.
In a situation where the user is injured or unresponsive, medical and rescue professionals can access their profile, even without the app, by simply tapping their smartphone on the Twiceme symbol displayed on the equipment.
Access to this safety information will give first responders a clear, efficient way to make decisions in the case of an emergency where time is often most critical.
Alpride E2 Electronic Airbag System
The new "Alpride E2 Supercapacitor System", stores the energy released when the airbag is deployed. When the supercapacitor system is triggered, it drives a fan to inflate the airbag.
Storage and release of energy happens based on an electromechanical process rather than a chemical reaction as occurs in rechargeable batteries. As a result, the supercapacitor's performance remains extremely reliable even in very cold temperatures.
- E2 features
The new E2 features an LCD to check the Super Capacitors charging level and the AA battery status
The new "E2 release unit" is 40% smaller and 25% lighter (140 g) than the existing Alpride E1 system, relative to the 162-liter airbag. Like its predecessor E1, the E2 is also TSA-approved and therefore approved for all airlines.
The new E2 features an LCD to check the Super Capacitors charging level and the AA battery status. A new knob allows for external deflation and an automatic pressure relief valve relieves airbag pressure three minutes after inflation.
RECCO® Reflector
The RECCO reflector makes you searchable to the rescuers. RECCO reflectors are lightweight passive transponders that require no power or activation to function. They consist of a diode and an antenna.
