Best avalanche beacons

You just can’t afford to compromise on something as vital as an avalanche beacon. One person or several people’s lives will depend on avalanche beacons working properly. You should get the very best and most trusted avalanche beacons for anyone who goes to the snow slopes.

Features to look for in avalanche beacons

There are several main factors that determine the efficiency and effectiveness of an avalanche beacon.

Ability to find a single buried victim

Avalanche beacons show an arrow and the distance where the victim is buried. They also give out beeps that get faster as you approach the buried beacon. The most important factor is how good your avalanche beacon is at pin pointing and locating the buried beacon. This is the single biggest factor you should base your decision on.

How fast you can move while locating a signal

As you move in the pattern that you been taught to locate a victim, different avalanche beacons allow you to move at slightly differing speeds. Some beacons will work seamlessly even if you move fast, whereas some will not be able to keep up with your speed and give a slow down indication. This is one aspect of your avalanche beacon that you should be aware of. Find out what are the speed restrictions of your avalanche beacon and buy one according to your requirements.

The signal catching range of a beacon

The range of avalanche beacons start at around 20 meters and are usually in the range of 30-40 meters. There are beacons with wider ranges too, but when it comes to doing the avalanche search patterns, then you do it with a 30 meter width and 15 meter length to cover for beacons with the smallest range. Though it is good to have a beacon with a bigger range, but it is not something that you should base your decision on.
