When you venture into the backcountry, you “know before you go.” But you’ve also got to get the proper gear before you go, whether that means retiring an old beacon, adding a communication system, or investing in the very best equipment. Read on for our touring gear picks this season.

The triple antenna has a 50m search radius that can identify multiple burials easily with Signal Suppression and Big Picture modes.

At 320cm, this is Black Diamond’s longest probe—and one of the lightest on the market, too, at just 10oz.

Give the beta to your partner even if they’re 2+ miles away. This radio system works in temps as low as -4°F, and the batteries last an impressive 140 hours for extended adventures.

This lightweight shovel stores neatly inside a small pack, while the easily adjustable telescoping handle lets you dig as efficiently as possible.

One of the lightest airbags on the market, the Jetforce charges with either a micro USB or two AA batteries in around 40 minutes, making it a travel-friendly system.
