Backcountry Access Tracker 2 Avalanche Beacon

Item #BCA0081 | 67 in Stock
5 Star Rating

The New Best Transceiver on the Planet

By Backcountry.com Employee January 21, 2010

When BCA first changed the world for beacons it took a long time for the hard bitten Bob Merrill-like Skadi's riders to let go and and embrace the cult of the crossed antenna.
The orginal Tracker rocked, right out of the box.
And I nervously awaited the sequel, concerned that the Bruce's would somehow botch the job and not make as beautiful a transceiver as could be. I was wrong. The Tracker II is excellent in every way.
It is filled with logic and simplicity. My hat is off to the folks at Backcountry Access for making what I think to be the best beacon on the market.
The simplicity of the search function alone make the II a worthy upgrade. But every aspect of the Tracker has been revamped in a brilliant to make a truly great transceiver. Congratulations.
