After years of development, ARVA has introduced the PLUME 30 UL, a new lightweight avalanche airbag.
Weighing just over three pounds including the Reactor 2.0 airbag system and carbon canister, the PLUME 30 UL sets a new benchmark for weight-to-volume efficiency at 48 g/L in a true 30-liter pack.
The Plume 30 UL is designed for skiers who demand simplicity, accept no compromise and move through the mountains with purpose.

To build the Plume 30 UL to ultra-light standards without compromising durability, ARVA looked beyond the mountains to the ocean and adopted ALLULA Graflyte UHMWPE – a composite born from high-performance ocean racing and aerospace. Pound for pound, it’s seven times stronger than standard nylon, delivering a chassis that’s relentlessly light, efficient, and capable of withstanding ski edges and ice axes.
Beyond its ultralight construction, the PLUME 30 UL includes a multitude of features that enhance its functionality:
- 1,400g with Reactor 2.0 airbag system and carbon canister
- A-frame and diagonal ski carry options
- Dual ice axe attachments
- Helmet holder and hydration compatibility
- Modular straps, pockets, and accessories for customizable weight savings or added storage
- Dual-zip access to both compartments and oversized waist belt pockets for quick gear access
- $1199 Plume 30 UL or $1499 Plume 30 UL with a prefilled Carbon Canister
The ARVA PLUME 30 UL is now available through ARVA’s network of specialty retailers and www.arva-equipment.com.
