Mammut Barryvox 2

Yes, the Barryvox 2 is widely regarded for its intuitive interface, making it an excellent choice for beginners who need reliable, easy-to-use technology under stress. The included shovel and probe are also standard, high-quality tools that are straightforward to deploy.

The Speed Lock system allows you to deploy the probe in one fluid motion. By pulling the tensioning cord, the segments snap into place and lock instantly, which is critical for saving seconds when every moment counts during a rescue.

Yes, the Alugator Ride SE shovel included in this kit is UIAA certified and built from hardened, anodized aluminum. It is designed specifically to move large volumes of snow and cut through the dense, concrete-like debris often found in avalanche deposits.

The kit is designed to be space-efficient for touring. The probe weighs 310 grams and the shovel weighs 780 grams, plus the transceiver. While it adds some weight, the components are engineered to nest well within a standard touring pack without taking up excessive room.

The Barryvox 2 features a wide search strip width, which allows for efficient searching over a larger area. This helps you cover ground faster during the initial signal search phase of a rescue.
