The AlpineHawk is an electronic anti-theft system specifically designed for skis and snowboards. It keeps an electronic eye on your precious winter sport equipment without the bulkiness associated with cable locks, which aren't necessarily very secure either. The AlpineHawk sets off a loud alarm and sends you a smartphone alert if someone tries to make off with your equipment.

It is equipped with an accelerometer-based motion detector that comes in a single unit for snowboards and a pair for skis. All you have to do is secure each unit to your equipment using its adhesive base and arm it with the companion app. This anti-theft system can detect the slightest of movements before sounding a loud alarm and alerting you.
