Backcountry Access Tracker DTS Beacon

Item #BCA0018 | 120 in Stock
3 Star Rating

5 years = Done

By Ranked #368 - Avalanche Safety July 20, 2009

This beacon is great and easy to use but I do question the reliability. Mine just hit 5 years and died. Not sure if anyone else has had these problems but I have to say I was very disappointed. I looked at several other beacons but have decided to wait to see what the Tracker 2 looks like and how it performs. Heard it was on delay b/c they could not get the new builds to be reliable, hopefully they can get it together.
