Arva safety equipment, gear designed by Nic-Impex to save time when it matters most. Light and durable probes and shovels compliment the world's easiest to use trancievers by reducing weight and improving touring efficiency.
 
Evolution +

An easy to use transceiver for all burial situations. An industry leading transmission range provides makes it easier for others to locate your signal since they can acquire it further away from the burial location. The Evolution+ also maintains a constant signal strength regardless of battery power. The very intuitive transmit/search toggle switch leaves no question as to what mode you're in. An extra wide 40M search strip and a long 60M range helps speed initial signal acquisition by significantly increasing the amount of area covered by the tranciever. This also reduces the likelihood of missing a signal while traversing difficult to travel avalanche debris fields. A mutliple vicitm indicator let's the user know when the beacon detects more than one signal, and the automated scan surveys the burial site indicating distance and direction for all signals. The fast 16 bit microprocessor provides real time distance and direction information. This results in directional indicators keeping pace with the searcher's movements, thereby reducing confusion commonly caused by delayed indicators pointing in the wrong direction. An automated system check ensures the transceiver is functioning properly, checking for frequency drift, battery & transmission power every 2 minutes of operation. High visibility directional indicators and a backlit display make the Evolution+ easy to read. The Arva Evolution significantly improves search times, especially for novice users. MSRP $345

A.D.vanced
The Arva A.D.vanced features both analog and digital search functionality to provide an extended range with greater versatility. Switching to analog mode not only increases the range, it also allows a user to search the debris field for mutliple vicitims and quickly identify their approximate locations by range. A mutliple victim indicator let's the user know when mutliple signals are present. One can mark the 1st signal located and move on to searching for the next closest burial. The long 60M search range combined with a wide search strip width of 40M results in the A.D.vanced covering more territory at once yielding a substantially quicker initial location of a victim's signal. High visibility LED directional indicators and a very intuitive search switch make the A.D.vanced easy to use. The ultra fast 16 bit microprocessor provides real time information, eliminating display lag which causes confusing signals from directional indicators not keeping pace with user movement. An automated system test ensures adequate battery and transmission power + checks for frequency drift every 2 minutes of operation. The A.D.vanced also maintains a constant transmission strength throughout the battery life, not diminishing over time as the batteries lose the power. Includes a 600 denier holster that faciltates removing the beacon for a search while still strapped to the use, eliminating the chance for a dropped beacon getting lost in the snow. MSRP $379
3 Axis
Arva's newest beacon incorporates a third antennae to eliminate search spikes during the final search for a victim. The 3rd antannae automatically turns on 10M from the acquired signal to provide a more accurate pinpoint search. The 3 Axis tranciever also features both analog and digital search functionality to provide an extended range with greater versatility. A mutliple victim indicator let's the user know when mutliple signals are present. One can mark the 1st signal located and move on to searching for the next closest burial. The long 60M search range combined with a wide search strip width of 40M results in the 3 Axis covering more territory at once yielding a substantially quicker initial location of a victim's signal.
