Mammut Barryvox Avalanche Beacon

FAST, SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE

REVIEWED BY: Neil Soucy

You don’t have to be a snow safety expert to appreciate the Mammut Barryvox. This beacon is powerful, simple, and really intuitive to use. The Barryvox has the largest search width on the market at 70 meters. That will make things a little easier if you ever do have to search for someone. We like that they updated to a larger screen, and you can even read it with polarized glasses now. The buttons can be operated with gloves on and it has audible search queues that can help keep your eyes on the snow instead of your device.

Just follow the arrow! Barryvox will indicate distance and direction on the screen to make navigation in a stressful situation faster. Multiple burials are much easier to handle with a marking function. When you find your first victim, simply mark that location to silence the buried signal and continue on to your next victim. The Barryvox has a very smart auto revert function that will switch the beacon from search to send if the rescuer doesn’t move for 4 minutes. The beacon assumes a second avalanche and makes sure the rescuer doesn’t get stuck in search mode.
