Ortovox are world leaders in avalanche safety products.
They also supply an excellent range of Merino wool baselayers and mid layers, plus a great range of rucksacks, and some classic wool gloves and socks.
There has recently been some discussion in the web forums about the sfety of using older analogue transceivers. In particular, an article in the usually excellent pisthors.com seemed to suggest that Ortovox F1 models should no longer be used. Ortovox have in fact suggested that they can no longer repair one version of the F1 from 1981, but all other models are fine. The Pistehors article showed a photo od the F1 focus model which is totally unaffected.
All Ortovox transceivers since 1981 continue to transmit and receive according to the world standard. Here is the Ortovox statement.ortovox press release.Here is the press release from Ortovox.
