- [ Recco Helmet Reflector ] Recco Reflector technology makes you searchable to rescuers in case of an avalanche or if you get lost outdoors, The small, band-aid-sized reflector weighs less than 4 grams. Made to mount to your outdoor helmet or gear that is unlikely to be torn off in the event of an outdoor accident.
- [ Be Searchable ] By wearing a RECCO reflector, you allow search teams to locate you using either a RECCO handheld detector or a RECCO SAR helicopter detector.
- [ How it works ] The system consists of two parts: the detector sends out a radar signal, which is echoed back by the RECCO reflector, guiding rescuers to your exact location.
- [ Intended Use ] This Recco Reflector has been designed to be attached to your ski or outdoor Helmet. RECCO Technology is not a substitute for an avalanche transceiver
- [ How Recco has Evolved ] First introduced in 1983 for avalanche rescues, RECCO technology has evolved significantly. Since 2015, RECCO has expanded its capabilities with helicopter detectors that can efficiently search large areas. RECCO handheld detectors are currently used by 900 ski resorts and rescue organisations worldwide, and helicopter detectors are used across Europe and North America.
- [ Application of the Helmet Reflector ] 1. Apply the reflector to a smooth and fully cleaned surface high up on the helmet at room temperature | 2. Firmly press the reflector into place ensuring full contact over the entire surface area. | 3. Be sure to allow at least 24 hours for the reflector to properly adhere to the surface | Unlimited Life-span (If Undamaged).
Recco Rescue Reflector
A Recco Rescue Reflector is a small, band-aid sized, transponder that weighs less than four grams. It is mounted to clothing and gear that is unlikely to be torn off in the event of an avalanche.
RECCO Reflector technology makes you searchable to professional rescuers in the event of an avalanche accident.
This RECCO reflector is a small, battery-free transponder which responds to signals from a RECCO detector to assist detection of the wearer in the case of an avalanche.
How does the Recco Reflector work?Professional rescuers can quickly pinpoint a buried reflector-equipped persons precise location using harmonic radar.
This two-part system consists of a RECCO detector used by professional rescue groups, which have a range of over 200 metres, and RECCO reflectors that are attached to clothing, helmets, protection gear, and boots worn by skiers and riders and other outdoor enthusiasts.
When used in conjunction with a RECCO Detector, the reflector's diode mixer acts as a harmonic generator to produce multiples of the frequencies received from the detectors.
In total more than 900 search & rescue organizations in the world.
Recommended Use:The Recco Reflector has been designed to be attached to your Ski Helmet.
The reason for adding a reflector to your helmet is simple when you are caught in a slide your head will be close to the surface with your legs being buried first.
Application:Apply the reflector to a smooth and fully cleaned surface high up on the helmet at room temperature. Firmly press the reflector into place ensuring full contact over the entire surface area.
Be sure to allow at least 24 hours for the reflector to properly adhere to the surface.
This position also gives the SAR Recco Rescue Helicopter the best opportunity of locating you.
