i foudn some similar info on this site
how much was the S1?

im kicking myself-durign the test week in bormio the guys from moment were doing 20% off trade so for a package of shovel , probe and trans was only 110euro! only found out on last day so didnt get the forms!

Can't remember. Nowhere near trade. Sport-conrad have some good used deal packages. If you can't find them on the website you should give them an email.

I read all the necessary very recently and settled on the Ortovox S1 but I do have good experiences with the BCA Tracker and the Ortovox S1. In the end it is down to what works for you and how much practice you get how effective they will be.

Facewest has good comments about them all, based on that I'd avoid the Freeride:

Still, it's the end of my 3rd full season and it's the only way I know to forget life. To quote no one at all "what use is a big pension, given a boring life". Make hay whilst the sun shines my friends.

Wise words, good effort on the season. Just wait until retirement comes and you can get 150 days ;)

Looks like extra days are out for me. Maybe a total of 15 this year (not counted and not sure), 10 down on last despite the season being loads better :(

Next year has to be the year.

(Admin, if you see this, how do I embed a Vimeo vid?)

Countour HD and the VIO 1.5. Not sure about availability on the VIO on the UK but the GoPro still has by far the best quality. You can mount it on the side of your helmet or get a chest strap for it. There are plenty options.

The quality is even better on Vimeo

Buy it.

Nothing saying whether or not he was wearing a helmet.
