Mammut Speed Lock Probe
A sturdy aluminum probe with a focus on assembly speed. Mammut recognized that time is of the essence when probing, and the last thing you need is to waste time assembling your probe. The Speed Lock system is easy and secure, matching well with the stable aluminum segments. The tensioning cord is durable and the system can be used with gloves or mittens. The Mammut Speed Lock probe is a good probe for ski touring and mountaineering.
- Speed Lock is a quick, individually locking tensioning system.
- Strong, lightweight segments are made with durable aluminum.
- Scale marking on the side of the probe to measure victim depth.
- Drop-shaped tip helps with penetration in solid avalanche debris.
- Tensioning cord has high tensile strength to maximize stability.
- Carrying case has some helpful emergency information.
Update 2020/21: The Fast Lock system has been replaced by the Speed Lock with a larger interface for releasing tension on the probe when done with use. It's a slight tweak on an otherwise awesome probe.

Questions & Reviews
This probe is awesome, quick to lock into place securely and light in my pack! During ECT it has performed well and seems to be fairly durable even though it is extremely light.
Comment on this review:
This checks a lot of boxes for me. Very light, inexpensive, and actually works.
Not enough use to speak to actual durability. Would buy again.
