RECCO Reflector
Here is the article.
This feature is a growing trend and is becoming an industry standard for all ski jackets. If you are caught in an in-bounds avalanche, the RECCO system could potentially aid ski patrol in finding you faster. The Arc'teryx Sentinel, the Patagonia Powder Town, and the Helly Hansen Powderqueen 3.0 and Alphelia Lifaloft all have a RECCO reflector.
The Norrona Lofoten is the only jacket in this review with a “Rescue Pocket.” This pocket is not actually a pocket but more a vent in the chest with a mesh backer velcroed to the body of the jacket. The intention is to reach a transceiver on a body harness beneath your shell without having to undo a chest strap on a backpack or fully unzip your jacket. When practiced extensively, this innovative feature could improve efficiency in a search. Our only warning would be not to use it as a real pocket.
