RECCO® reflectors might not be your first line of defense for backcountry safety but it doesn’t hurt either. With the RECCO SAR1, the search grid using their technology expands exponentially compared to handheld search devices and could be a valuable asset for rescue teams:
“The new RECCO SAR 1 is based on RECCO’s renowned avalanche rescue system that can quickly locate a buried person. Used from a helicopter, the SAR 1 detector has a substantially greater range and can be used year-round for lost people equipped with RECCO reflectors.”
