In service of alpine safety, the two mountain sports brands Ortovox and Arc'teryx have joined forces. This extraordinary alliance has resulted in a new, electric, and lightweight avalanche safety system - the LiTRIC. It will be used in the two brands' backpacks from October 2022 and has already been named an ISPO Award 2022 Winner in advance.
