Arcade launches new RECCO-equipped belt, expanding searchability function for emergencies
Arcade belts, which provide stretch and function for outdoor activities, joins the global roster of RECCO brand partners starting this fall.
RECCO, the global leader in rescue technology, announces its first product collaboration with Arcade, founded on the belief that belts could function better, last longer, and be more comfortable. Arcade joins a family of 150+ brands that integrate RECCO reflectors to make users more searchable in the outdoors.

Arcade designs and builds high-performance belts for utility, lifestyle, and outdoor adventure. With the launch of the brand’s first Arcade x RECCO belt, engineered with a patented A2 Buckle System and designed with performance stretch for flexible movement, wearers can head into the backcountry with added searchability. RECCO reflectors allow professional search-and-rescue teams to locate wearers.
“At Arcade, we’re always exploring ways to push our products further in terms of performance, functionality, and innovation,” said Devon Lambert, Director of Product at Arcade. “Integrating RECCO technology into our belts adds meaningful value without compromising comfort or design. It requires no power, you don’t even notice it’s there, and it adds an extra layer of safety for those who take adventure seriously.”
RECCO reflectors are found across a range of outdoor products, across all seasons. A global standard in outdoor search technology, the system is used at 900+ locations in 32 countries by ski resorts and rescue organizations. Search and Rescue professionals can use RECCO technology to search for people year-round with both the RECCO Handheld Detector and the RECCO SAR Helicopter Detector.

- Travel Friendly – Metal-free materials make airport security a breeze
- Belt Keeper – Elastic loop keeps excess belt tucked in place.
“Arcade is a brand incredibly dedicated to functionality and reinventing a category, and that makes this partnership particularly exciting,” said Fredrik Steinwall, CEO at RECCO. “Because Arcade’s performance belts can be integrated into a wide range of apparel for different outdoor activities, this partnership can help outdoor users add searchability and function to a garment that may not already have a RECCO reflector in it.”
Four-season searchability is now possible with the expanded RECCO SAR Helicopter Detector. The RECCO detector network continues to grow as more placements are added, making more people across outdoor disciplines searchable in an emergency. The helicopter detector can quickly search large areas, covering a square kilometer in six minutes. In addition to reducing search times for missing people, the helicopter-based detector can reduce time and risk exposure for rescue workers during missions.
