Ortovox Avalanche Rescue Set DIRACT, Badger & Alu Probe

Introducing the Diract Avalanche Rescue Kit by Ortovox, designed to give beginners the chance to escape the hustle of the slopes and discover the beauty of backcountry whilst remaining at a safe level. Featured components are highly intuitive and have the capability to be mastered in stressful situations.  Included also to help prevent the likely hood of being caught in an avalanche and the equipment being used, is an Avalanche Academy Safety Guide Book which explains the rules of the mountain and a great deal of background information about backcountry Skiing and Snowboarding.

DIRACT
The DIRACT 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 symbols and a 360-degree real-time display. Equipped with patented Smart Antenna Technology, the DIRACT significantly increases the chances of avalanche burial victims being found. The device analyzes 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.
In addition to the premium DIRACT VOICE avalanche transceiver, the DIRACT does not provide voice navigation, but does provide audio and visual support for coarse and fine search. By registering online your warranty extends from 2 to 5 years!

Badger
The Badger is a super lightweight aluminium shovel with an ergonomic, hybrid grip for maximum power transmission. Its sizeable blade volume of 2.5 litres is backed up by robust design, pronounced centre ridge and high side walls for full rigidity. Non-slip grooves on the top edge of the blade provide adequate traction when wearing boots. A cantering aid in the shaft socket facilitates rapid assembly.

ALU 240 
The beginner's probe with a very low weight. With a 240 cm length the Economic weighs just 230 grams. This is achieved by an aluminum tube with a diameter of 11 mm. The probe is stretched classically with a screw cap, in which the Kevlar draw line is clamped. The burial depth can be read on the probe segments.
