The North Face Powder Guide ABS isn’t just a cool looking vest, it might also save your life. The garment integrates two airbags manufactured by German company ABS. When stuck in an avalanche, the two bags will inflate and give the rider 150L of extra body volume. He can then easily get on top of the snow and be rescued. This life-saving item comes at a price: $1,300 and $900 for the backpack version.
