Description
Maximum performance, minimal size.
The technology-packed EVO5+ fits in the palm of your hand. Compact and intuitive to use during a search, both everyday and occasional backcountry enthusiasts will love this device.
The EVO5 is the smallest avalanche transceiver ever designed by the ARVA brand. At only 11 cm in height and 7 cm in width, it is one of the most compact detectors on the market. Its size and lightweight 170 g make it easy to forget you're carrying it, without compromising performance in an emergency situation.
The EVO5+ capitalizes on ARVA’s 40-year expertise to fit in the palm of your hand.
Our R&D team pushed the size/performance ratio past the edge of the envelope to create a device that fits perfectly in your jacket pocket. With a 50m search strip width, group check, marking function, and an automatic revert-to-transmit mode, the EVO5 is jam packed with all of the essential functions needed to rescue an avalanche victim.
Equipped with a backlit screen and a speaker that emits a precise, modulated beep, this transceiver will efficiently and effectively guide you to the burial zone.
