Mammut 240 Short Probe
Durable, lightweight, trustworthy. Think of the Mammut 240 Short as the "Sting" to your Bilbo Baggins. This trusty sidekick is made with high-quality aluminum and features an effective telescopic locking tension system. The drop-shaped tip adds to the probe’s efficacy in penetrating compressed snow. When you are up against a dense debris pile, these features give you the confidence that your weapon will stay true and perform in those crucial moments after the crown rips. It may not have a "Speedlock" system, but what this probe lacks in quickness, it makes up for in sturdiness. The 240 Short will agree with almost any pack you pair it with, boasting a collapsed length of 38cm and weighing in at 245g.
