Beacon evo5

The EVO5, the latest arrival in the line of transceivers, capitalizes on ARVA’s 35-year expertise to fit in the palm of your hand.

Arva’s R&D team pushed the size/performance ratio past the edge of the envelope to create a device that fits perfectly in your snow pants’ pocket. With a 50m search strip width, group check, mark function, and an automatic revert-to-transmit mode, the EVO5 is jam packed with all of the essential functions needed to rescue an avalanche victim. Equipped with a backlit screen and a speaker that emits a precise, modulated beep, this transceiver will efficiently and effectively guide you to the burial zone.

The design and ergonomics of the device were taken into account from the very beginning of the EVO5’s development to make handling simple and intuitive. A 3 position slider, an extra large screen and a central marking button make it easy to operate the device during the search.
