13-mm diameter and thicker walls maximize stiffness in lower sections of the avalanche probe and 11-mm uppers help shed weight
Single-pull design with quick-link ferrules and an instant-locking pin help to deploy the probe quickly when time matters
For added efficiency under pressure, the probe includes a textured top section for additional grip, glove friendly T-handle that clips to shaft during use, and offset 5cm depth markings for 360 degree visibility

Compact: 240-cm length stows easily in a smaller day pack and is suitable for average snow packs.
Dual-Diameter Construction: A 13-mm diameter and thicker wall maximize stiffness in critical lower sections for truer, more accurate probes; 11 mm uppers shed weight.
Fast Deployment: Single-pull design, quick-link ferrules and an instant-locking pin deploy probe fast when time matters. Comes in a quick-deploy, featherweight stuff sack.
Hassle-Free Probing: Textured top section offers added grip. Glove-friendly T-handle clips to shaft during use; and 5 cm depth markings are off-set for 360˚ visibility—all adding key efficiency.
