Safeback

SBX production is nearly completed for the coming winter season - with units on their way to specialty ski retailers around the world as we speak. Something unique about our production in the context of our product's purpose is that we've found the most efficient way to secure the highest standards of quality and reliability at a low cost has been to keep production close to home. We are proud to say that SBX is Made in Norway. See more about our process and images from the factory floor in our blog below: https://lnkd.in/d7wrMfyx

For those following along from Norway... We're proud of what we've achieved in bringing our product to the snow safety market - and are grateful for the support and guidance we've had along the way. See more about how we've built our company and product:

Stucan and Safeback will be at Modern Day Marine booth 614 from 30 April -2 May. If you want to see a cutting edge technology that saves lives, then look no further as SBX- Avalanche Survival System delivers upto 90 minutes of air supply in deep buried snow in -22F (-30C) regardless of compackness of snow or depth. #avalanchesurvival #Mountaineering #coldweather #Arcticsurvival #MDM #USMC #Winterwarfare

It's not every day that we get to interact with medical doctors who also consider themselves ski bums and gearheads - let alone those who are excited and engaged in writing about it. It was a pleasure to discuss SBX and its applications with Dr. Patrick Fink, to help backcountry users navigate the research and testing behind SBX and its potential as a life-saving tool. As a company that values transparency in our understanding of our product's function, we are excited to see the potential acknowledged alongside the milestones we are working towards to prove its viability. Much more to come! Give it a read!

Years of prototyping and refining the SBX system have led us to our current design: a robust and simple snow safety tool that is always armed for deployment in case of an avalanche. The system is streamlined in its design, with only 3 moving parts for the user to interact with: the trigger handle to activate the system, the Test/Off button on the bottom of the device, and the Battery compartment. Because the power draw on the system is negligible when the system isn't running, there is no need for an on/off switch to ensure that the product is ready for use. So long as batteries are installed, the system will start when you pull the trigger, and only stop when either the batteries die after 90 minutes or when the system is manually turned off.

One of our greatest fears when moving through snow-covered terrain is being buried in an avalanche. Together with the Safeback team, we have developed Safeback SBX, an innovative piece of avalanche equipment designed to increase the margins of survival for individuals trapped under snow.

“SBX is a tool that allows me to travel through the mountains with a higher margin of safety. It’s light, small, reusable almost instantly, and increases my survivability in an avalanche burial.” - Dan Corn, IFMGA/AMGA Please help us in welcoming our first North American ambassador: Dan Corn. Dan works as a mountain guide in some the most famous ranges in the Americas - including his home base of Jackson Hole. While guiding with Jackson Hole Mountain Guides, he and his clients explore the Jackson backcountry using the resort’s lifts and trams to access zones outside the resort boundary. Dan is equally accomplished and experienced in human-powered and mechanized backcountry terrain, but is currently using Safeback for his mechanized guiding with the Db Snow Pro Vest.

After years of testing above and below the snow, we determined that the best way to combine user-friendliness and reliability of SBX would be to integrate it directly into backpacks. This ensures free airflow through the system, protects the SBX unit, and secures SBX in place. See the specific features that can be found on all SBX-compatible backpacks in the video below.
