Arc'teryx Arrakis 50 Backpack - 3057-3661cu in

September 30, 2011

The Naos 55 was designed more for that area, same roll top and load disk, but taller and with a trad top lid. They nixed it how ever because it was the first pack with a load disk and the full water tight material in the narrower format was harder to pack made sure it had not the greatest sales

much of their packs are still made in their Vancouver factory where as much of their soft goods are from outside of North America, the easiest way to find out is to look for the label on the inside of the product or they will often have a maple leaf on the outside, for packs this is usually on the hip belt.

thinking of using these on a touring set-up, any thoughts in terms of skins (tailless or with adapter), and general experience on how well they work as a touring ski?

Ortovox M2 Avalanche Beacon

October 8, 2010

the main difference between the two is that the M2 has a single antenna while the Tracker has 2, making it faster and easier to use, another huge difference between the two is analog vs digital, meaning it relies upon auditory info rather than a digital interface, digital is also much more specific in terms of search area. thirdly the M2 had recall problems because of battery issues (http://beaconreviews.com/transceivers/OrtovoxRecall.asp) and was discontinued in 2009, there's probably a reason why. If i were buying a beacon now i'd take a look at the newer, smaller, three antenna products, take look at the Oct issue of Powder for a solid cross-section of the current beacons.
