Rescue Gear

The Dozer IT is BCA's most popular size avalanche shovel, made for the masses. 

All of BCA's new Dozer shovels feature ovo-concave shafts and low-profile, "stompable" blades. The front third of the shovel blade offers a smooth surface for clean snowpit walls during snow stability tests. With BCA's flat "stomp edge" on the blade, you can penetrate just about anything by adding body weight. Auto-engaging spring pins at the blade/shaft connection make for faster, hands-free assembly/deployment. BCA shovels lie flat in your pack with no protruding ferrule or "neck," leaving more room for other backcountry gear. All BCA extendable shovels are designed to meet the UIAA standard for avalanche rescue shovels.

Please see our avalanche shovels resources section below for shoveling videos, FAQs, and instructions for use.

Our Stealth 270 avalanche probe features the easiest and fastest assembly on the market, with no loose cable to cause hangups. The top segment stealthfully nests inside the next probe section, reducing the number of segments and size of the probe bundle when disassembled in your pack. Equipped with laser-etched depth markings for measuring snowpack and/or victim depth to determine the dimensions of the excavation area before shoveling. Our Quick-Lock hardware allows for the best packability and deployment speed on the market. Stealth probes are built to last and save valuable seconds during an avalanche rescue when time matters.

ORTOVOX is setting out on a new, innovate path: The DIRACT VOICE is the world's first avalanche transceiver with integrated voice navigation and will reliably and quickly guide you to your buried companion in an emergency.

Clear, simple spoken instructions tell you what to do in every phase of your search and keep things calm when your partner’s survival is of the utmost importance. The display is exceptionally stable from first reception, which reduces stress in an emergency situation and helps speed up the search. The three-antenna device comes equipped with Smart-Antenna Technology, which analyzes the device’s location in the avalanche and automatically switches to the best transmitting antenna. This means you get up to double the range and will be found more quickly!

Thanks to its streamlined, logical design, the DIRACT VOICE is intuitive and easy to use, because using just one button you can quickly flag burial victims or switch to standby mode. Secondary avalanche protection automatically switches from search-and-standby mode to transmit mode to guarantee the searcher full protection. Even in extreme light conditions, the full-graphic, extra-large screen is easy to read and, thanks to clear instructions and a 360-degree real-time display, ensures intuitive user guidance in stressful situations.

This handy avalanche transceiver weighs in at just 210 grams, can be held securely when wearing gloves thanks to its rubberized grip zone, and fits easily into a hip pocket if it isn’t being worn in the quick-access carrying system which automatically pushes out the avalanche transceiver when unzipped. This way, the DIRACT VOICE is always quickly and safely to hand and instantly ready to use. As a backup, the RECCO® reflector integrated in the carrying system further increases your chances of being found.

The DIRACT VOICE comes with a rechargeable low-temperature battery that is especially long-lasting and environmentally friendly. Even at -20°C, the low-temperature battery provides a reliable power supply and, unlike normal batteries, it will not leak.

Thanks to the free ORTOVOX APP (Apple iOS & Android) you can get automatic software updates, extend your warranty by five years, and watch helpful video tutorials.
