Mammut Barryvox Tour

Yes, the Barryvox Tour is an excellent choice for beginners. The transceiver is designed for intuitive operation, which is critical when you are learning to manage the stress of a search scenario.

The probe is 280 cm long, which is a standard and versatile length for most backcountry conditions and snow depths.

Yes, the probe is specifically designed for glove-friendly use. It features a deployment mechanism that is easy to handle even when you are wearing bulky gloves in cold conditions.

This shovel is made from hardened anodized aluminum, making it significantly lighter and more durable than standard tools. It is engineered to be compact for easy packing while providing the strength needed to move dense avalanche debris.
