The Barryvox by Mammut is a snow avanlache transceiver designed for off-piste skiing/ski touring and also mountaineering.
Mammut has decided to completely revolutionize its leading avalanche transceiver, the Barryvox. The device's unfailing reliability remains the same, but Mammut has added major improvements in terms of performance and use.
Mammut's key focus for this product is to make it extremely easy to use in order to facilitate rescue, which is always a challenge in an emergency situation.
Performance:
This device has a maximum range of 70m, one of the largest on the market, which makes it easier to search for the victim(s) and will allow you to obtain the first signal very quickly.
A long range will also reduce the distances involved in a zig-zag search.
The Barryvox assists you in the rescue: the device shows you the distance, the direction to follow and the number of subjects buried.
Use:
In terms of use, Mammut has reworked the device's casing and interface. This means the information is easier to read, the device can be handled with gloves, the casing is shock-resistant and the search is guided by intuitive acoustics.
To make Mammut's Barryvox even more secure, the main button incorporates SafeLock security to prevent any unintended activation of the reception mode.
Multi-victim mode reworked:
A large proportion of avalanche accidents involve several victims, making the multi-victim option essential.
The Barryvox offers this multi-victim function. The victim marking system allows the person in charge of the rescue to concentrate on one person at a time, filtering the other signals received. This makes it easier to search and avoids signal conflicts. Once the first victim is marked, and while your colleagues are busy probing and taking the first victim out, you can start searching for the second victim and so on.
Carrying system:
The BarryMount carrying system in which you attach your Barryvox is very well made. Adjustable and very practical, it allows you to handle the device with only one hand and without removing your gloves. It also blocks the unintentional activation of the search mode to increase your safety in the field.
