The EVO5+ capitalizes on ARVA's 40-year expertise to fit in the palm of your hand. Our R&D team pushed the size/performance ratio past the edge of the envelope to create a device that fits perfectly in your jacket pocket. With a 50m search strip width, group check, marking function, and an automatic revert-to-transmit mode, the EVO5 is jam.. In a skimo world where weight is the new measure of worth, the ARVA Evo5 Beacon is worth its weight in spandex. This light and compact beacon made by the French wizards over at ARVA, the Evo5 is a fully functional 3-antenna beacon with a range of 50m, and it fits in the palm of your hand (unless you have really, really small hands).
When we want to save grams and space but don't want to sacrifice safety, we take to the skintrack with the ARVA Evo5+ Beacon strapped to us. Weighing less than 6 ounces and measuring smaller than our cellphone, this beacon hits the marks for light and compact, yet it remains packed with features like group check, marking, and signal-interference management to keep our emergency response.. The Evo5 does have its advantages — it offers slightly better range and an easier-to-use flagging/marking function, especially if there are more than two signals. Conclusion The Arva Evo5 is an intuitive, simple-to-use beacon. We liked the flagging/marking function, and it comes in at a strong price point.
