look and find
Intuitive, easy handling is essential in an avalanche. Before heading into the backcountry, the MRK5-Module is unlocked, and its handle pops out automatically. The handle is readily accessible, if and when it’s needed.
In the event of an avalanche, the user pulls the handle and tosses it away from himself. The bright-colored, durable float inflates immediately.
The bright-colored float can be seen from far away. This helps rescuers locate the victim immediately, even while enduring the tremendous stress of an avalanche. Multiple buried victims can also be located more quickly and simply.
The thin line easily cuts through the snow, providing the exact position of the victim. Digging along the line brings you directly to the victim.

ROTAUF MRK5 is a supplement to standard avalanche equipment, not a replacement for avalanche transceivers and probes. It makes the search for buried victims much easier and faster, offering particularly crucial time savings for those winter sports athletes that have little experience using transceivers.
