great value Save over £50 vs buying individually (see product details below) click on images for Ortovox specifications   Patroller plus 240 Economic plus Orange Shovel Patroller bundle price £265   Get the three basic essentials to stay safe when you go off piste.  Each of these items performs more than adequately and is the minimum level we think is wise.   Ortovox d3 plus 240carbon pfa plus Cougar shovel d3 bundle price £325   This pack offers you seriously good quality at a great price.  Each item is  more efficient than the items in the basic bundle and well worth the extra cost.   Avalanche Transceivers They are also called avalanche beepers or avalanche beacons.  We have picked out three units that we are completely happy will keep you safe.  Like all things, you get what you pay for.  But any of these will do the job. Ortovox Patroller £199.99   Great value This is the most basic transceiver that we would recommend.  The Patroller offers both digital and analogue reception.  This means you can use the analogue to pick up the first signal at a distance.  But once you engage the signal the digital function provides direction and distance indication.  In the final phase of the search, the sound volume is very helpful to pinpoint the exact position of the victim. Click on this link for full Ortovox specification Ortovox d3 £235   Newer Technology This model seems very similar to the Patroller but offers a more sensitive detection of multiple victims and a more refined direction indicator.  (and a nicer pouch!).  It is purely digital, but has the same range sensitivity as the Patroller Click on this link for the full Ortovox specification Ortovox S1 £375     The latest technology Easier for less experienced users to find the victim.  This is more like having a GPS locator to track down the victim.  The digital display shows you where one or more victims are and directs you through the three stages of the search procedure.  if you do not practice enough and you like having the latest technology, then this is for you.  Some professionals are a bit sniffy about this device, but they are expert users and do not need it. Click on this link for the full Ortovox specification   Probes for avalanche rescue There are a lot of probes out there from different brands and different stores.  We have tried to simplify it.  We advocate 240cm is necessary.  Here are two that we selected.  One is less expensive and other uses carbon materials to be lighter in your pack. Ortovox 240 Economic £39   Long enough for all recoveries but still good value The reasonable priced alternative that still offers full functionality. The different-coloured segments, made out of aluminium, indicate the depth. The cord is made from KEVLAR®, the "conic" tubes and the practical express screw fastener allow fast assembly of the probe. The larger head of the probe drills a bore channel being larger than the diameter of the probe so that the probe can be pulled out easily and doesn't freeze. Click on this link for the full Ortovox specification Ortovox 240 Carbon pfa £65   Lightweight, everything you need from a probe Unbeatable 190g divided on 240 cm provide the necessary safety outside. For all those who watch for every gram this is the right probe, as it is extremely lightweight, flexible and unbreakable thanks to carbon and cord of KEVLAR®. The extra larger heads of the probe drill a bore channel being larger than the diameter of the probe so that the probe can be pulled out easily and doesn't freeze. The "conic" tube segments and the practical express screw fastener allow a fast assemblage of the probe. Exact markings of depth for indicating the depth of burial. Click on this link for the full Ortovox specification   Shovels for off-piste What is in a shovel?  An off-piste snow shovel needs to be light, strong and easy to use.  It must fit in your back pack. In amongst the clutter we have chosen three.  Ortovox Orange £37   Basic, effective, good value The blade, developed by ORTOVOX, is made from unbreakable torsion free Lexan which guarantees maximum performance in use.  An integrated handle socket makes this a compact shovel and prevents it from sticking out when packed away. The two -piece telescopic handle with T-grip is quick to assemble and also easily stowed away. And besides that, the flashing orange of the blade adds a colourful flavour when strapped to your rucksack. Click on this link for the full Ortovox specification Ortovox Cougar £49   Blade/handle design - you can move more snow more quickly The cougar is characterised by an extremely sharp blade, its lightness and hoe function and its stability in use.  The ergonomic handle ensures a good grip for both left and right handed users.  The shovel can also be used as an hoe which, along with its more classic use as an avalanche shovel, also makes it an ideal tool for the building of kickers. Its sharp edge cuts through even the toughest snow with minimal effort Click on this link for the full Ortovox specification Ortovox Professional Alu 2 £59   Like Cougar but Aluminium means it is more durable. Its torsion-free aluminium-magnesium alloy creates an extremely durable and hard wearing shovel blade. An ergonomic handle ensures a good grip for both left and right handed users.  The shovel can also be used as an hoe which, along with its more classic use as an avalanche shovel, also makes it an ideal tool for the building of kickers. Its sharp edge cuts through even the toughest snow with minimal effort.
