Jacket Makes Avalanches More Survivable

Getting buried alive by an avalanche strikes me as a particularly horrific way to go, if you are not instantly crushed to death then you must contend with suffocation. The Avajacket is designed to give you a fighting chance, it has a pillow that inflates around the wearer’s neck both for protection and to give a little head movement and it filters air from below, so that the wearer doesn’t breath in what they just breathed out.
