The Raid 240 is the sturdy and easy-to-deploy probe every skier should have in their pack before entering the backcountry. It has a pin-locking system for fast and efficient deployment with a handle that snaps onto the shaft, so it is out of the way once the digging portion of a search commences. The segments are built of a robust, 12mm diameter aluminum tubing and the tension cable is made of stainless steel. There is also a rubber grip on the upper segment for easier handling with gloves on. This probe is easy to stow, easy to use, and will hold up to the rigors of heavy backcountry use.
