Avi Vest
One of the newest products on the market aimed at helping snowmobilers survive an avalanche is the Avi Vest.
The vest features an inflatable red safety airbag that you can inflate by pulling a rip cord if you're caught in an avalanche. The airbag inflates and rises to the surface of a slide, taking the person wearing the vest with it. After two minutes, the airbag slowly begins to deflate, discharging breathable air while creating a cavity behind the person's head.
The compressed air cylinder used to inflate the Avi Vest is rechargeable. The Impact version of the Avi Vest also offers impact protection.

Ski-Doo Helium Series Clothing
The new Ski-Doo Helium Clothing series from BRP is designed with a combination of high-tech materials for active mountain riders.

The non-porous membrane is waterproof, windproof and the PTFE-free Sympatex membrane is a copolymer consisting of polyester and polyether-production of which produces no toxic materials-and is 100 percent recyclable.
Helium jackets and pants are offered in two versions, the Helium 50 series featuring a heavier Cordura outer shell with XS through 3XL sizing and the Advanced TEC Helium 30 series using a nylon outer shell and offering tall sizing in addition. Both series are available with black or red jackets.
