Uniquely developed to hold ortovox safety items securely in designated slots. The avalanche shovel, the probe, first aid kit and bivvy bag pack are compactly and efficiently organized on the safety plate so that they may be quickly accessed and never lost. The loaded safety plate can be placed within a backpack providing additional support yet quickly pulled out from it with a “single grip” pull. In emergency situations, the safety plate serves as a secondary snow scoop, building a sledge and as a support for applying splints. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS THE SAFETY PLATE ONLY.
