BCA DTS Tracker 3

The BCA DTS Tracker 3 has an efficient and progressive industrial design, making it the most developed of BCA's Tracker range.

The T3’s foundation is still built around the industries' fastest, most precise pinpointing and instantaneous real-time display. However, the Tracker 3 is now 30 per cent smaller and lighter than the Tracker 2

If skiers are caught out by an avalanche, their companions in the vicinity have their work cut out. They have to locate the victims and dig them out as quickly as possible. The chances of survival diminish rapidly after 18 minutes of burial in the snow. Using a transceiver can radically reduce search times, thus increasing the chances of a successful rescue.

The BCA DTS Tracker 3 is a very good advance in transceiver design. The device weighs only 170 grams and is very small and easy to carry (BCA’s goal was the size of a modern Smartphone).

In search mode, it tells you if you have 1, 2 or multiple victims and whether they are in close proximity.

There is a button that you can push that gives you a 'big picture' of the search and allows you to review all signals received in the case of multiple burials, helping the user to direct a search if working with other rescuers.

When you let the button go it locks back on the closest victim. Once you get to the first victim, you can suppress this signal and you will then lock onto the next closest victim.

New features include BCA’s no-nonsense markings for multiple burials and a special Multi-Burial Button that can switch between or suppress any signal in any direction in a multi-burial situation.

The foundation on the BCA DTS Tracker 3 is still built around the original Tracker Technology which provides the industry’s fastest, most precise pinpointing and instantaneous real-time display.

The Tracker 3 beacon houses similar features to the Black Diamond Recon & Mammut Barryvox.

Combine this with Tracker’s reputation for durability and reliability and you have the most functional beacon in the marketplace.

BCA B-1 EXT Shovel

The BCA B-1 EXT Shovel is BCA’s most popular avalanche shovel used for avalanche safety. The product is extendable and packable.

The B-1 EXT Shovel is both light and extendable for weight conscious skiers and snowboarders that prefer the comfort and functionality of an extendable shovel.

The Bomber line boasts an off-the-chart strength to weight ratio, while taking up minimal storage space in your pack. Remember, the excavation process in an avalanche rescue is where the most time can be lost or gained.

BCA Stealth 270 Probe

The BCA Stealth 270 Probe is fast to assemble and packable. The BCA’s mainstream 270 cm probe is for the advanced recreationalist.

The BCA Stealth 270 avalanche probe features the easiest and fastest assembly on the market, with no loose cable to cause hangups.

The top segment stealthfully nests inside the next probe section, reducing the number of segments and size of the probe bundle when disassembled in your pack.

Equipped with laser-etched depth markings for measuring snowpack and/or victim depth to determine the dimensions of the excavation area before shovelling.

BCA's Quick-Lock hardware allows for the best packability and deployment speed on the market. Stealth probes are built to last and save valuable seconds during an avalanche rescue when time matters.
