Backcountry Access Tracker DTS Beacon

Item #BCA0018 | 140 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Good all around

These are very easy to use. I'd suggest playing hide-and-go-seek with them in the dark or out in the snow just to familiarize yourselves with these (or any other for that matter) beacons so when the real situation hits, you're already primed and ready. These are fool-proof and so easy to figure out you could have children working them as well. These will communicate with most other beacons (all current models). Things I don't like are the weight and the harness...it's quite bulky and swings around a lot even when sinched down.
