Lightweight and durable avalanche probe made of hardened aluminum with an innovative PFA automatic locking system, allowing you to assemble the probe in one motion directly when pulling it out of the sleeve. The system works reliably even in severe frost, and thanks to the conical tips, you can assemble the probe easily and without snagging. Together with intuitive color coding on individual parts, the probe will significantly speed up the rescue of a buried person. For instructors, mountain guides, and everyone who frequently undertakes demanding winter mountain tours.

  • Automatic PFA locking system.
  • Sleeve with quick-pull system.
  • Tip wider than the probe segments.
  • Tips for quick assembly.
  • Ergonomic non-slip grip.
  • Intuitive color guidance – 1m depth marking on a 5cm depth scale.
  • Color warning marking for proximity to a buried person.

Intelligent Depth Marking

The 1m depth marking decides for you from which direction to dig and saves precious minutes during rescue.
  • Dig from the side if the 1m marking is below the snow,
  • Dig from the top if the 1m marking is above the snow surface.
This recommendation is based on the latest IKAR methodological guidelines. When digging, the blue second-to-last segment serves as a warning that you are approaching the buried person. The last neon-orange segment at the end of the probe is a warning for more careful digging to avoid injuring the buried person. The probe has a depth marking every 5 cm.

Quick and Easy Probe Assembly with the PFA System

The PFA automatic locking system allows for quick assembly of the probe in one motion. The system does not jam, and you can assemble the probe in one motion directly when pulling it out of the sleeve – just pull the wide loop of the probe. Conical tips help you assemble the probe easily and without snagging. For disassembly, simply release the system by pressing with your thumb. Operating the probe is easy, even when wearing mittens.

You Can Rely on the Probe Even in Hard Snow

  • The probe diameter is 13 mm and provides sufficient stiffness.
  • The probe material is 7075 Alu T6 duralumin alloy, used in the aerospace industry, and is characterized by high strength.
  • The steel conical tip is wider than the probe diameter, which eliminates friction and snagging of the probe on the walls of the entry hole, allowing you to penetrate snow more easily.
  • The ergonomic rubber grip ensures a firm hold even when probing in hard snow, which is almost always found in an avalanche debris field.
  • The rubberized handle does not get wet, and the probe will not slip in your gloves.

Sufficiently Long, Yet Compact Avalanche Probe

  • The probe length of 240 cm is sufficient even for large accumulations in avalanche debris.
  • 6 segments, each 43.5 cm long, can be packed into a standard backpack for ski touring or freeride.
  • Innovative PFA system for fast and precise probe assembly.
