As more and more people take to the backcountry, safety is becoming a main concern of many brands. The RECCO rescue system was developed as a way to help locate and rescue buried or stranded alpinists. The RECCO reflectors sewn into select gear from The North Face bounce back the signals sent out by transceivers that are used by rescue and ski patrol teams. This simple, ultra light addition to your garment can help keep you safe in both the backcountry and resort areas alike.
