Intelligent depth marking

Marking a depth of 1 m will decide for you from which direction to dig and save so many precious minutes during the rescue .

kick from the side if the marking is 1 m below the snow,
kick from above if the marking is above the snow surface.

This recommendation is based on the latest IKAR methodological guidelines. When digging, the penultimate blue part serves as a warning that you are approaching the backfill. The last neon-orange part at the end of the probe is a warning for more careful digging to avoid injuring the buried. The probe has a depth marking of 5 cm.

Folding the probe in one quick movement

The QUICK LOCK locking system allows you to quickly assemble the probe with one movement and also to tighten the probe using the thread. You can fold the probe in one continuous movement directly when taking it out of the package - just pull the wide loop of the probe and then secure the Aramid cable at the top of the probe. The conical approaches will help you assemble the probe easily and without snagging. When folding, you just need to easily release the Quick lock system. Controlling the probe is easy, even if you are wearing gloves.

You can rely on the probe even in hard snow

The diameter of the probe is 11 mm and provides sufficient rigidity.
Aramid rope is strong, light and 6 times more durable than steel.
The probe material is duralumin alloy 7075 Alu T6, which is used in the aviation industry and is characterized by high strength.
The steel conical tip is wider than the diameter of the probe, thanks to which the friction and freezing of the probe against the walls of the puncture is eliminated, which makes it easier to penetrate the snow with the probe.

Sufficiently long but compact avalanche probe

The probe length of 240 cm is sufficient even for large deposits in the avalanche zone
7 parts 37.5 cm long, you can also pack them in a small racing backpack.
The new Quick Lock system is simple and resistant to damage.
