We appreciate easy-to-use intuition out of our backcountry tools when we're learning about avalanche safety, which makes the Ortovox Diract Beacon one of our favorites whether we're taking our first avy class or our hundredth hot lap. This smaller beacon is super simple to use with a single button that cycles through search modes, flagging functions, and more. This beacon also features Ortovox's Smart-Antenna-Technology that helps stabilize the connection between you and victims.
