There are three pieces to that system, the bag, the M.A.S.S. airbag unit, and the activation kit (cyl and trigger). Make sure that you have all three or you will be buying more stuff to make it work.

it has dedicated storage for shovel and probe, pretty nice layout, i dont really care for the velcro on the waist belt, it will freeze up on ya, and there is not the ability to carry a water bladder.

shes on the way. $656 complete for the Ortovox 26.thanks

very high grade pack, along with that is thicker material and a little more weight that other packs with thin material , This thing will likely last a lifetime [ assuming I pull the handle}

Sounds like a winner, being the ABS based unit I had no doubts! They are a very good pack.

there is no pressure guage however the canister seems like it has weight, Does the nitrogen add weight and if it leaks out should I be able to tell?
