ARVA

We present the two major innovations from Arva. In terms of mountain safety, Arva is the leading brand and offers you a new avalanche beacon, the Neo Pro, and an airbag vest, the Reactor Vest. To enhance your safety, also consider equipping yourself with a high-performance alpine backpack to carry everything you need during your mountain outings. We will tell you more about these two innovations.

The NEO PRO is the new high-end avalanche beacon from ARVA, integrating all the essential “expert” features for professional rescue such as analog mode, standby mode, and the SCROLLING function that allows you to target the victim being searched for. Its user-friendly settings menu with “+” and “-” buttons will allow users to customize their device. The NEO PRO is equipped with a soft holster for better adaptability to a wide range of body shapes. It fits perfectly into a budget-friendly alpine gear to make your expeditions safer without breaking the bank.

The features of the new DVA Neo Pro Arva:

• 70M search strip width: The search strip width corresponds to the width of the area “scanned” by the device during search. The larger the search strip width, the more area the device covers. It is often used to compare the performance of devices.
• GROUP CHECK: The group-check function allows you to easily ensure that all members of a group are wearing a beacon in transmit mode. The group-check function puts the device in proximity search, allowing you to check each group member individually by standing within one meter of them.
• MARKING FUNCTION: Once a victim is located during a search, the marking function allows you to disregard that victim to focus on searching for another victim. The signal of the “marked” victim is no longer taken into account for the rest of the search. The multiple burial indicator displays a “+” when there are more than 3 victims.
• REVERT-TO-TRANSMIT: During the search, in the event of a secondary avalanche, the revert-to-transmit function automatically switches the device back to transmit mode without user action. The revert-to-transmit can occur either by timer, meaning after a delay without user action, or by motion detector, after a delay without movement of the device. These delays are adjustable in the device's configuration menu.
• INTERFERENCE MANAGEMENT : Interference management optimizes the device's performance in a “polluted” search environment with electromagnetic interference. To do this, the search device automatically reduces the search strip width to focus on the signal of the searched device while disregarding noise frequencies. This function can be disabled by the user.
• STANDBY MODE: The device in standby mode is neither in search nor in transmit. This function is designed to work on avalanche without disrupting searches with the device's waves. In the event of a secondary avalanche, the revert-to-transmit function automatically puts the device back in transmit mode. The analog mode allows you to fully enjoy the maximum range of the main antenna.
• SCROLLING FUNCTION: The victim selection allows for organizing a rescue by selecting the victim being searched for to better distribute the search among rescuers. The identities of the victims are not displayed, but a list of victims is created in order of proximity, allowing you to select the victim based on distance.
• 3 antennas to improve the chances of finding a signal and for greater precision during fine searching.
• U-TURN ALARM allows the rescuer to know they are heading in the wrong direction.
• The analog mode allows you to fully enjoy the maximum range of the main antenna.
• The digital signal processing guides the rescuer more effectively to the burial area.
• The self-test allows the device to perform a diagnostic to verify that all main functions are working correctly.
• The backlit screen offers high contrast in all conditions or under any lighting.
• Weight: 240g

Arva constantly aims to offer the product best suited to your practice, and if you use a snowmobile, helicopter, or ski lifts to access the most beautiful slopes, there is no doubt that the REACTOR 15 VEST is made for you. The comfort of an airbag pack enters a new dimension with the R15 VEST. Perfectly adjusted to all body shapes thanks to various adjustments, its stability will convince you from the first use. Also consider completing your outfit with a mountain sports textile equipment to combine safety and comfort. With the necessary space to store your safety gear in the back, you will also have quick access to your small items using the front pockets.

A second skin

Comfort was the number one priority for the Arva brand. The R15 VEST comes in two sizes and adapts to all body shapes and is constructed using TAILOR-FIT straps and adjustable elastic side straps. With the thermoformable back and the load well distributed across your body, your shoulders move freely and you feel like you are not carrying anything on your back. Complete your outfit with budget-friendly alpine clothing for an optimal experience.

High stability

The brand has focused all its efforts on delivering comfort and stability. That’s why Arva has completely redesigned the airbags to bring the center of gravity of the R15 VEST as close to your back as possible. Nothing will be able to unbalance you.

Easy access pockets

Quick access to most of your tools and equipment without having to remove your backpack will quickly become a habit. The front of the R15 vest is designed with 4 large-volume pockets as well as 2 large pockets, one on each side of the zipper, making it easy to grab all safety gear or any other essential items. For a complete set, check out our climbing and alpine accessories shop that will accompany you in all situations.

Carrying straps

The vest is equipped with a versatile strap support to carry skis diagonally or a snowboard. You can also attach the ARVA helmet holder (sold separately). If your expedition requires specific equipment, our alpine ice axes and our ice screws for alpine are must-haves to slip into your pack.

MOLLE system compatibility

For even greater modularity, the straps of the vest have been designed with loops that meet MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) standards. You can easily attach a radio or a wide variety of third-party accessories that comply with this standard.

Trigger handle pocket

To ensure that your airbag does not deploy accidentally during maneuvers away from avalanche-prone slopes, the trigger handle can be stored in its own pocket.
