The design direction for the Mammut Barryvox S avalanche transceiver sets a focus on advancing safety, usability, and production efficiency in a smaller, contemporary and appealing product.

Extensive research and field testing with avalanche experts guided key decisions around interface clarity, ergonomics, and real-world performance.

The final design in collaboration with an external agency, delivers a compact, durable device with a large, high-contrast display and a simplified button interface for intuitive operation under pressure. With a 70-meter search strip width and precise guidance features, the Barryvox S enables fast, effective rescue in complex avalanche situations. A secure lock prevents accidental mode changes, while the visual interface supports clear orientation during high-stress use.

The carrying system allows quick, one-handed access and adapts easily to the user’s body—even with gloves. High-visibility safety colors and a robust 2K injection-molded housing ensure performance and reliability in the most demanding alpine conditions.
