Ortovox Rescue Set Diract Voice Light

Ortovox is a pioneer in the mountain safety industry, famously launching the first double-frequency avalanche transceiver in 1980. The brand focuses on mountain sports products that range from sophisticated electronic rescue equipment—like the Diract Voice which features integrated voice navigation—to high-performance merino wool apparel and technical backpacks. Their safety sets are standard-issue for backcountry enthusiasts, combining essential tools like probes and shovels with advanced digital beacons.

While the brand originated as a small engineering firm in Germany, it has evolved into a global leader in outdoor safety. Manufacturing for their complex electronic rescue devices is primarily localized in Germany to ensure rigorous quality control, whereas their textile and hardware lines (like backpacks and shovels) are produced through a global supply chain that emphasizes Fair Wear Foundation standards. Since 2011, the brand has been part of the Schwan-STABILO group, providing it with the financial backing and research capabilities of a major international corporation while maintaining its specialized identity in the alpine community.
