The S2 is the new updated version of the S1. Smaller, lighter, high contrast display is easier to see with googles on.

This transceiver has all the bells and whistles, can take a bit to learn and best advice I can give is to "SLOW DOWN" with this transceiver and you will still find a complex burial scenerio in enough time to pass the test! Best range on the market at 70meters

Beacons are like a cell phone; you want one that is new and up to date, fits well in your pocket, and you're comfortable with. That's this for me.

This is my favorite beacon to date. It is intuitive and easy to use and extremely low-profile.

At every professional grade avalanche program I have been a part of when the team does a beacon check Barryvox's are 90% of what is pulled out. This is the industry standard for beacons and provides a very easy to use screen and system. The S2 Provides additional features for more technologically inclined users. If this is not needed save your funds and buy the Barryvox 2 instead.
