Mammut Pulse Barryvox Avalanche Beacon

Item #MAM0047 | 25 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Simple and Easy

By Backcountry.com Employee December 11, 2008

I got this beacon as a part of package deal, and luckily, I haven't actually had to use it yet. Hopefully I will never have to (knock on wood). Being a native East Coaster I had never used a beacon before. I took it to a practice park and was finding and checking off multiple burials in just a few minutes. It was really easy and made me feel way less intimidated by the idea of having to use one. There is a review above that mentions a lack of range, which is definitely something to consider, but the review mentions "digital" as the reason for lack of range, and the Pulse actually has an Analog antenna, so take that however you want.
