Avalanche Airbag Tech Talk with Black Diamond (Ep.48)

Today we have another conversation about avalanche airbags, and this time we’re getting technical. A few weeks ago, we had Mammut’s Doug Workman on the podcast to talk about the practical use aspects of airbags and how they affect our mountain recreation. It’s a good conversation and I encourage you to check it out here if you haven’t already. This week we’re getting a little more in the weeds with airbag technology. I talk with Black Diamond’s Director of Design Engineering, Pete Gompert, about their expansive 19/20 airbag line, each of the major airbag technologies on the market right now, and the surprising fact that Black Diamond is currently using all of them.
