Mammut Barryvox Opto 3000 Beacon

Item #MAM0015 | 0 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Perfect- If you like having options...

By Ranked #2 - Avalanche Safety June 19, 2006

I switched to the Barryvox this past season after five years of Tracker use. When set up in all-digital mode, the Barryvox is *almost* as fast as the Tracker, although the switchover to search could be a bit confusing for the unfamiliar user. Overall, if you plan on never practicing (a bad plan!), or want a dedicated loaner beacon, the Tracker is still best. But for an advanced user, who wants to be able to switch to analog for a multiple-victim burial, or who wants to take advantage of the Barryvox's other customizable features, the Barryvox definitely offers the best of both the digital and analog worlds.
