RECCO & CamelBak Expand Partnership With First MTB pack

RECCO, the global standard in outdoor search technology, is proud to announce the latest milestone in its ongoing partnership with CamelBak: the launch of the H.A.W.G. 20 mountain bike pack, the first MTB backpack on the market equipped with an integrated RECCO reflector.

Building on their shared commitment to safety and innovation, RECCO and CamelBak continue to make outdoor enthusiasts more searchable in the event of an emergency. The new H.A.W.G. 20 does as its name suggests - hauls a lot of water and gear. The pack is designed for serious mountain bikers who prioritize both performance and peace of mind. With the addition of RECCO technology, the pack allows professional rescue teams to locate users using RECCO SAR Helicopter Detectors, a growing system with expanding coverage across North America, Europe and Nepal.

“We are thrilled to integrate RECCO technology into our H.A.W.G. 20,” said Tonya Turk, Category Manager at CamelBak. “This partnership underscores our commitment to safety and innovation, ensuring that our customers can enjoy their adventures with an added layer of security.”

The H.A.W.G. 20 combines ample storage, smart hydration features, and now, integrated passive safety, a reflector that requires no power, no activation, and works year-round. As the RECCO SAR helicopter detector network continues to grow, more people across outdoor disciplines are becoming searchable in case of emergency.

The RECCO SAR helicopter system is used to search for missing people outdoors year-round. The helicopter detector can quickly search large areas, covering a square kilometer in six minutes. Along with helping reduce search times for missing people, the helicopter-based detector can reduce the time and risk exposure for rescue workers during missions.

The CamelBak H.A.W.G. 20 with RECCO technology is available now at select retailers and online at www.camelbak.com.
