PIEPS JetForce 26/27

The JetForce is PIEPS’ electronic airbag system designed for repeatable deployment without a cartridge. This page places it in a splitboard touring context: what it is for, where its limits sit and which equipment still belongs in the setup.

What is the JetForce designed for?

An airbag can influence the chance of remaining near the surface in an avalanche. It neither prevents a release nor replaces a transceiver, probe, shovel, training and conservative risk management. Check the trigger, charge or cartridge and airbag-compartment closure before every tour.

Check the exact JetForce version, pack volume and supplied components for the selected model. An airbag complements rescue equipment and risk management; it cannot replace either.

What is our editorial assessment?

We have not yet tested the JetForce on tour. This assessment is based on the published manufacturer information and our experience with comparable splitboard equipment. Once we complete a field test, measured data and practical impressions will be separated clearly from product specifications.

What is included and what else do you need?

The exact inclusion of airbag system, battery, charger or cartridge depends on the variant and must be checked on the linked product page. Transceiver, probe and shovel are always separate.
