Description
Type 644 survival mirror: emergency signalling equipment
In the field, reliable survival equipment starts with the essentials: this SOS type 644 mirror complies with a French military standard. Designed for emergency signaling, it reflects sunlight several kilometers away, making a distress call visible without the need for a power source. Weighing just 100 grams and compact in size, it fits neatly into any kit without weighing it down.
Use and practical applications
This signal mirror covers several critical applications:
- Signal a rescue point in the mountains or at sea
- Useful equipment in an emergency kit or evacuation kit
- Hiking, camping, water sports and outdoor activities
- Visual cues for orientation and navigation
- Military and professional use, French army, emergency services
In a distress situation in the mountains or on the water, this mirror can be used to quickly pinpoint your position. The reflective surface captures natural light and directs it towards potential help. It’s best reserved for applications where the sun is still available, as without direct light, range drops sharply.
