TRANSCEIVERS + OFF-PISTE SAFETY FOR SNOWBOARDING
Our range features state-of-the-art avalanche transceivers, offering reliable performance when it matters most. Complementing these are robust avalanche probes and efficient shovels, completing your vital rescue kit. We also stock avalanche airbag backpacks, providing an extra layer of protection in case of slides. Look for additional safety gear like emergency bivvy sacks and first-aid kits to round out your off-piste preparedness. Remember, knowledge is key – pair your equipment with proper avalanche training for the safest backcountry experience.
Look for three-antenna digital designs, intuitive displays, group-check/self-test modes, multiple burial marking, auto-revert to send mode, and a robust range for effective victim search and rescue.
Three-antenna models offer better spatial resolution and accuracy for pinpointing buried devices, regardless of their orientation under the snow, making searches faster and more reliable than older one- or two-antenna units.
Transceivers use impact-resistant plastics, durable electronics designed to operate in extreme cold, with waterproof or water-resistant sealed housings for reliability in snow environments.
Avalanche airbags use compressed gas canisters or battery-powered fans to rapidly inflate a tough nylon or Cordura airbag, increasing the user’s volume to help keep them nearer the snow surface during an avalanche.
Yes; avalanche probes are usually made from lightweight aluminium or carbon for strength without excess weight, while shovels are often aircraft-grade aluminum for durability and efficiency when digging quickly.
Auto-revert switches the beacon from search to transmit if the user is motionless for a set time, protecting rescuers caught in secondary avalanches by ensuring their signal is broadcast.
Essential gear includes an avalanche transceiver, probe, and shovel. For advanced safety, carry an avalanche airbag pack, helmet, RECCO reflector, survival blanket, and a means of communication or navigation device.
Modern transceivers have digital signal processing and smart displays, providing faster, more accurate victim location versus analog devices, which offer less precise directional feedback and are harder to use in multi-burial scenarios.
Beginners need the essentials (transceiver, probe, shovel) and should prioritise easy interface; advanced users may select multi-burial functions, GPS-enabled beacons, ultralight carbon probes, and full-featured airbag systems for technical terrain.
