Always findable, even without network

Using the FIND-R’s innovative technology, rescue teams connect directly to your KIP and are guided to you.

Use without a phone, and outside GSM coverage

With KIP, you can go out in complete autonomy and without your phone and still be watched over by your loved ones.

4 seasons, all sports

Whatever your outdoor activity or its intensity, the KIP is there for you, even under extreme conditions.
