The Mammut Alugator Light Shovel is made from tempered and anodized aluminium. The metal has been treated to increase its resistance against corrosion and wear by increasing its strength and surface hardness. The base of the extendable shaft of the Alugator Light is integrated into the shovel blade, which makes for an extremely stable shovel design without excess weight. The extendable shaft allows for a small packing volume, as well as, a large excavating angle for ideal lifting action and efficient shovelling.

The Probe Plus is a 7-piece aluminium probe that is 11 mm in diameter and 280cm long and has a drop-shaped probe tip. The extra length allows for greater probe depths. The Probe Plus uses a lightweight, non-stretch Dyneema cord and a telescopic lock, which allows for easy assembly and interlock. With a new, improved lock this probe is safe and easy to operate with gloves on.

With a weight of only 210g and a carry bag with printed instructions and emergency plan this probe is a must for every backpack that travels into the backcountry.
 

The Alugator Expert shovel is made from tempered and anodized aluminium. The metal has been treated to increase its resistance against corrosion and wear by increasing its strength and surface hardness. In addition, the blade is coated in Teflon to reduce friction and prevent icing.

Here is what this high-end piece of technology has to offer for the fastest possible rescue of your companions:

A global novelty, the Pieps iPROBE Carbon, is an avalanche probe with integrated digital technology. It provides a hit and proximity reading of every standard beacon transmitter and enables a short-time deactivation of the detected transmitter (for transceivers with iPROBE support).

The first tone is emitted (beep, beep …) and the LED illuminates when the tip of the probe is about 2 meters from the transmitting beacon. At a distance of about 50cm, a continuous acoustic tone (beeeeeeeep) is emitted and the LED remains continuously illuminated.

The PIEPS Freeride is an inexpensive Digital 1-antenna tranceiver with the following features:

It is extremely small and light.

The BCA Carbon 260 probe is a solid, reliable probe for backcountry use. It provides 260cm of solid carbon fibre tubing that locks together with a quickie tensioning system. The depth markings will allow you to see how deep you are probing.
