In a field-test in this month’s Backcountry Magazine, Mammut’s Pulse Barryvox avalanche transceiver is deemed Editors’ Choice among six beacons tested.
Ueli Gegenschatz, the world famous base jumper, sadly passed away yesterday after a failed attempt to jump from a high-rise building in Zurich. Mammut is shocked at the news and deeply regrets this loss. It would like to express its sincere sympathy to his family and friends.
When running checks on its Via Ferrata Y-sling sets (art. no. 2130-00080), Mammut Sports Group AG found one which was incorrectly manufactured. The defect is not design-related but is due to human error. Since Mammut Sports Group AG cannot guarantee with absolute certainty that this was a one-off, it is asking all owners of Mammut Via Ferrata Y-sling sets to check their sets without delay.
Last week, the Mammut Sports Group received five prices in Outdoor Magazin’s 2009 Gear of the Year awards. It took gold in the readers’ vote in the functional jackets ands soft shells category.
