 Poster: A snowHead
|
I popped my 2.0 snowpulse in the appartment today as I hadn't tried it before and the guy in the Mammut shop in town said it was only 10euro for the cylinder to be swapped.
I was very impressed, it went off with quite a bang and the airbag surrounded my head on three sides, and would offer great protection. I'm not sure how I would keep skiing with it should I have to, and stuffing it back in was an effort. If one went off in a helicopter I wouldn't want to be there!
I'll let you know how I do with the replacement cylinder.

Just got a carbon cylinder for mine - noticeable weight saving & gives me the original as a back-up.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

spyderjon, I'm not envious anymore. When I went to get my exchange cylinder at the Mammut shop in Chamonix for which they were charging me 10 euro, i enquired how much the carbon ones were. 199 euro, but they would give me 100 euro for the old one, deal done. So it was 100euro to save 200 grams. I'll be careful how much water I take next time out, the difference between a pint and a litre aprox 500 grams.

Depending on your pack you may also be able to remove the frame, there's another couple of hundred grams (I know this works on the RAS 30, can't speak for others).
Is the cost to exchange a used carbon for a new carbon also €10?

sah, I am not sure about removing the frame from the backpacks, you have to be careful of the construction on the bag, and how this affects the inflation of the airbag, it is possible if you mess around with it too much that the airbag would try and inflate inside the pack and not blow the zip and velcro  |
Is that an issue with the RAS Ride 30? I see what you mean, but the attachment points and the "loop around" strap keep the airbag right next to the burst zipper with or without the frame. I'll take another look though... it would indeed be false economy to compromise the airbag to save a tiny amount of weight!
