Good Features
This beacon changed the way people think about avalanche survival. The search feature on this device is quite easy to use. This is the world’s best selling beacon and it's easy to see why. It was introduced in 1997 with advancements being made often. The guesswork in taking readings is removed with directional lighting and digital distance readings. Must say that it's easy to use and everyone out there can use this model.
Bad Features
Well the only small issue is that the buttons can be a bit hard to use with gloves on.
