Ortovox Rescue Set Diract Voice Light

The Diract Voice is the first beacon that has voice navigation for emergency guidance while backcountry touring, and Ortovox included a shovel and probe in the Rescue Set Diract Voice Light to complete our avy necessities. Clear instructions, symbols, and a 360-degree real-time display make the Diract Voice super simple to use, and there’s a single button for streamlined ease of use. This minimalist, ultralight, three-antenna beacon boasts an impressive 50m digital range with Ortovox’s Smart-Antenna-Technology to assist with victim searching.

The Shovel Pro Light and Alu 240 Light are the lightest tools from Ortovox, and we like having them in our packs whenever we tour for their ease of use. Both pack small and set up in a cinch. We like that the probe has clear markings every meter for snow study, and the shovel’s blade doubles as a sled in emergency settings.
