Why We Like The Barryvox Beacon
We backcountry skiers and splitboarders should know beacons like we know the back of our gloves, so Mammut designed the Barryvox Beacon with an incredibly intuitive design so we can master it quickly. It features a single switch, single button, and separate flagging button for simple, reliable handling that we got the hang of after a few beacon drills. With a triple antenna, the Barrvox boasts an impressive 70-meter digital range that's just as large as most top-end beacons out there.
The Barryvox shows distance, direction, and number of burial victims in an easy-to-see, goggle-friendly display. In search mode, the Barryvox automatically switches back into send mode if the beacon's been still for four minutes, just in case we get in an accident while looking for a victim. Mammut included alkaline batteries and a carry case that keeps the beacon close to your chest.

Gold standard of beacons
This beacon is great both for experts and those learning to safely navigate the backcountry. Super compatible with anything else I've encountered, and super user-friendly and easy-to-read display.

I’ve used this beacon extensively in the backcountry of colorado and it has always worked exactly as needed. The battery life is excellent, even after a full season of use (25+ days) I’m well over 50%. Using it in rescue courses, the readings are clear and intuitive throughout the search distances. It fits nicely in the chest pocket of my bibs and for the most part isn’t too noticeable during activity.

This is a great avalanche beacon. Easy to figure out / intuitive. And seems to mitigate the risk of accidentally switching modes at the wrong time.

What a deal
I tested this against my friends BD and BCA beacons and the Barryvox both picked up on a signal at a further distance 70m and was picked up at a further distance 70m. For how often you can find these and on sale i don't think there is anything better. I have used the beacon for 2 seasons and I think the batteries are finally below 50%.
