Ortovox Avalanche Rescue Set Diract Voice

Emergency avalanche set for beginners

Overview

The Ortovox Avalanche Rescue Set includes lightweight, reliable avalanche equipment for beginners who want to be on the safe side. The components have been selected to be highly intuitive so they can be easily mastered even in stressful situations.

Diract Voice

The Diract Voice with integrated voice navigation combines intuitive operation with state-of-the-art technology and a handy, clever design. It is streamlined down to just one button and ensures intuitive user guidance in stressful situations thanks to clear instructions, symbols and a 360-degree real-time display.

Equipped with patented Smart Antenna Technology, the Diract Voice significantly increases the chances of avalanche burial victims being found. The device analyses its location in the avalanche and automatically switches to the best transmitting antenna. Both state-of-the-art digital three-antenna technology and an automatic secondary avalanche switchover are standard with Ortovox.

In addition to the Send and Search modes, there is also a standby mode for suppressing the signal during the search. The rechargeable low-temperature battery provides a reliable power supply even at -20°C and is particularly long-lasting and environmentally friendly.

ALU 240 Probe

A rookie’s probe with quick-lock assembly system: the ALU 240 is reduced to the essentials. The quick-lock assembly system allows for quick and simple set up. It is therefore ready for use in just seconds, and can be collapsed and folded just as quickly.

The tension can be set by simply turning the optimised adjusting screw. The large probe tip, which has a significantly larger diameter compared to the probe elements, ensures improved penetration.

The low weight is achieved by using aluminum with a diameter of 11mm. As with all Ortovox's probes, the ALU 240 features easy-to-read depth markers, a clear 1-meter marker and a neon orange bottom segment to optimally adapt the shoveling strategy.

Beast Classic Shovel

The Beast Classic is a lightweight, compact and efficient aluminum shovel. Thanks to its 83-centimeter working length and 2.5L scoop volume, the Beast is the ideal size for efficient work after an avalanche.

The combination of high-quality materials, high sidewalls and a pronounced centre ridge ensure the necessary tensile strength and stability. A sharp, sturdy cutting edge guarantees optimum performance.
