So I am really happy with my Ortovox Avi Pack. I will say I wish that I didn’t have to refill canisters after accidental discharges, but it is a sure fire system that you know is going to work if your tank is full.
One other thing I don’t like about this pack is the trigger handle is way high on my shoulder and sticks straight out basically at the elevation of my shoulder. I like the fact that the Klim pack and many others have the charging handle more on your chest for easier grabbing. I know I can lengthen the handle but it doesn’t change the actual location of it.
Another thing about the Klim pack, being backcountry hunter and understanding that batteries and cold don’t mix. What are everybody’s thoughts on having a battery that is susceptible to failure in the cold being in charge of your life-saving device? Is it being close to your back, keeping the temperatures up, similar to our avi beacons?
I’d like to know everybody’s thoughts as I do entertain the fact that I’d probably like to get the Klim Atlas pack at some point for my primary and use then ortovox for my wife/friends or backup.
