GRIVEL, a leader in mountain equipment, and RECCO, a Swedish company which produces rescue technology to make people searchable to rescuers, have joined forces to make the first mountaineering helmets with integrated RECCO reflectors.

The STEALTH and STEALTH HS helmets by Grivel will be available in autumn 2018 also in a version with an integrated RECCO reflector.

"We are very happy to be the first ones to present these models, whose goal is to increase the safety of the final user. Safety is in fact a keyword for Grivel for product development today" – Oliviero Gobbi, Managing Director of Grivel.

"Our goal at RECCO is to make as many people as possible searchable to professional rescuers in the outdoors. By cooperating with Grivel we step into a new product segment and so we give outdoor enthusiasts one more possibility to be searchable in case of an avalanche or when lost outdoors. Especially with eyes on our new RECCO SAR system, that will be used by helicopter to look for missing people in the outdoors, the reflectors inside the helmets add an important visibility safety- factor for climbers and alpinists." Manuel Duermoser, Global Brand & Marketing Manager RECCO
