Avalanche Transceivers allow equipped skiers to rapidly locate others (similarly equipped) buried in an avalanche. An avalanche victim's chance of survival drops from 93% to 26% within the first 45 minutes of burial so a quick rescue by your companions is required.
I hope you will read the information and review linked to the right but for those who won't here is the very short summary:
- The Mammut Barryvox Pulse is a fully featured unit, simple to use in basic profile but complicated in advance profile.
- The BCA Tracker 2 or the Mammut Element is the simplest to use 3 antenna digital unit. No menus, no masking.
- All other transceivers offer something in terms of either size, features or price and are fit for purpose but Facewest recommend the three above.
