Mammut Barryvox Opto 3000 Beacon

Brand : Mammut
Item : MAM0015
When you're looking for your buddy and the clock is ticking, you want an avalanche beacon that's fast, accurate, and easy to use. You can trust the Mammut Barryvox Avalanche Beacon when lives are on the line. The Barryvox is held in a secure, comfortable harness that provides fast access. Tap the search button three times to see a digital signal with the direction and distance to a buried victim. The display is simple to follow, even for those with very little practice (though you should practice often!). You can also choose between digital and analog mode to work more efficiently in the event of multiple burials or big debris zones, where more experienced users tend to prefer an analog beacon.

Mammut Barryvox Opto 3000 Beacon

Works great!
Works great for the backcountry. Easy to use. Comfortable on the body, hardly notice it. I am an old Pieps user, so the easy directional finder was so easy to practice with and find another beacon quickly. Make sure you practice with it though! VERY IMPORTANT. After you get the hang of it, it is a fine beacon. The only one I think that might be easier to operate is the DTS Tracker. Very happy with this purchase.


Barryvox Avalanche Beacon
This beacon is really the best you can get today. It is small, reliable, accurate, robust and simple to use in emergency situation. My life was saved by one Barryvox 19 years ago (and a skilled user!). I can only strongly recommend them to anyone who is going to be exposed even to a LOW risk of avalanche! Use it every time you go out and enjoy your outings.


Mammut's avalanche transceiver
Very impressed thus far. Good, clean, compact design. Holster fits nicely. Easy to work buttons. Excellent training manual and DVD. Hopefully never have to use it in action! Recommended.


Perfect- If you like having options...
I switched to the Barryvox this past season after five years of Tracker use. When set up in all-digital mode, the Barryvox is *almost* as fast as the Tracker, although the switchover to search could be a bit confusing for the unfamiliar user. Overall, if you plan on never practicing (a bad plan!), or want a dedicated loaner beacon, the Tracker is still best. But for an advanced user, who wants to be able to switch to analog for a multiple-victim burial, or who wants to take advantage of the Barryvox's other customizable features, the Barryvox definitely offers the best of both the digital and analog worlds.
