The Importance of RECCO® Search and Rescue Technology

When exploring the great outdoors, safety is always a top priority. Whether you’re skiing down snowy slopes, hiking up mountains and through dense forests, or biking across rugged terrains, being prepared for emergencies is essential. That’s why we feature RECCO® search and rescue technology in our outdoor clothing. This innovative system enhances your safety by making you searchable to rescuers, even in challenging conditions.

What is RECCO® Technology?

RECCO® technology is a search and rescue system that helps locate individuals caught in avalanches or lost outdoors. First introduced in 1983 for avalanche rescue, RECCO® has become a trusted solution for search teams worldwide. The system operates using two components:

The Detector (Rescuer): This sends out a radar signal.

The Reflector (Lost individual): This small, lightweight device hidden in your clothing echoes the signal back to the detector, guiding rescuers directly to your location.

RECCO® reflectors are so compact they weigh only 4 grams. They require no batteries, no power, and no activation—making them an always-ready safety feature for any outdoor enthusiast.

How Does RECCO® Work?

RECCO® technology is used by ski resorts, mountain rescue teams, and search organisations across the globe. There are two types of detectors:

Handheld Detectors: Used by over 900 ski resorts and rescue organisations worldwide.

Helicopter Detectors: Introduced in 2015, these detectors can cover large areas quickly and efficiently, making them invaluable for year-round search operations.

This dual approach allows RECCO® to be effective not only in avalanche rescues but also in a variety of outdoor scenarios, such as hikers lost in remote areas or injured mountain bikers who have gone off course.

Why We Include RECCO® Technology in Our Clothing

At Beyond Nordic, your safety is as important to us as your comfort and performance. That’s why we incorporate RECCO® reflectors into our outdoor gear. Here’s why this technology matters:

Enhanced Safety: In the event of an emergency, being searchable with RECCO® reflectors significantly increases your chances of being located quickly.

Year-Round Use: While originally designed for avalanche rescues, RECCO® is a versatile system for all outdoor activities, including hiking, biking, climbing, and running.

No Maintenance Required: Unlike other safety devices, RECCO® reflectors are always ready to use. With no need for batteries or activation, they provide a reliable, hassle-free safety solution.

Lightweight and Unobtrusive: At just 4 grams, RECCO® reflectors are so lightweight you won’t even notice they’re there—but you’ll be glad they are in an emergency.

A Trusted Technology, Globally Recognised

RECCO® technology is used by rescue teams in Europe, North America, and beyond. The integration of helicopter detectors has revolutionised search and rescue efforts, allowing teams to cover vast areas quickly. By wearing clothing equipped with RECCO® reflectors, you’re helping rescue teams help you—whether on the slopes, in the woods, or anywhere nature takes you.

When you wear outdoor gear equipped with RECCO® technology, you’re investing in more than performance—you’re investing in peace of mind. At Beyond Nordic, we’re proud to feature RECCO® reflectors in our clothing, offering you a safety net that requires no extra effort on your part.
