Fresh tracks, Fresh ideas. That’s what Backcountry Access (BCA) is all about. Backcountry Access is owned and run by dedicated backcountry skiers and snowboarders that live for fresh lines—and are stoked to be part of the outdoor industry. Our passions are ski touring and innovation. We constantly strive to break new ground with our products and our ideas: we invented the first digital transceiver, the first integrated shovel and probe, and the first freeze proof hydration system. Tracker2 offers the industry’s fastest, most precise pinpointing, with triple receive antenna, instantaneous real–time display, and same easy–to–use interface as Tracker DTS. An intuitive mechanical search/transmit switch makes it even easier to use right “out of the box.” Thinner profile and harness than Tracker DTS. Includes Special mode and multiple burial indicator lights. * Weight: 6.4 ounces/181 grams without harness and batteries 10.4 ounces/193 grams with harness and batteries * Dimensions: 5x3.5x1 inches/13x8.5x2.5 cm Comes complete with a FREE instructional DVD, and holster system. We can demonstrate BCA trackers here in our showroom, so if you require initial advice please contact us, and we will be happy to demonstrate a tracker for you in more detail. See the INSTRUCTIONS icon below for more information on this product and a link to the BCA web site Our Opinion If you even twitch off the piste, a transceiver is a must. The hope is you will never need to use it, but equipped with one, you decrease your risks considerably, and also become a valuable person on the mountain if someone is in trouble and you are able to help save lives. Is This For Me? If you go off piste, go buy one of these first.

SMART AND EASY With the 3+ yo u are in charge! The patented SMART-ANTENNA-TECHNOLOGY - with intelligent position recognition automatically switches to the best transmission antenna. You will be found easier. We make no compromises in terms of searching either. The 3+ is equipped with all the features of a modern, digital 3-antenna device. The illuminated real-time display tells you the direction, distance and number of victims. The patented circular display, combined with the intuitive search acoustics, leaves no doubt when operating in fine search mode. Once located, victims can be removed from the display using the flagging function. The motion-sensor-based follow-up avalanche switchover ensures additional safety. We have also thought about the future: the 3+ can be updated and protects the environment with just a single battery. BEST POSSIBLE PROTECTION You get better found The 3+ is a three-antenna device with a special extra function to first enhance your own safety.

There is no longer any such thing as the worst position. Recco For maximum protection, weve also equipped the S1+ with a Recco reflector. Recco helps professional rescuers find victims buried in the snow even faster. The backup technology is used by more than 700 ski areas and rescue teams around the world. SIMPLICITY You find faster The circular display lets you focus on the essentials. The distance to and the relative position of a victim. Always align the device to the arrow. The solid arrow and the central distance value keep you going in the right direction. You find more exactly The patented circular display shows you at a glance whether you are getting closer to the signal or moving away from it. With the precise distance value you can very effectively determine the distance to the buried victim and limit the area to be probed. You find more victims The 3+ allows you to maintain an overview even with multiple burials. The number of victims is shown in the display. As soon as you have found the first one you can blend out their signal with the pin key. The victim is displayed as pinned and you can immediately continue with your search.
