Ortovox Alu 240 Light Probe

It has been said that under adverse conditions, simplicity is safety. Ortovox's Alu 240 Light Probe is a simple, reliable probe that's quick to deploy, sturdy in the hand, and light enough for long days in the backcountry. Featuring a durable 7075 T6 aluminum shaft and an aramid tensioning system, Ortovox gave this probe exactly what it needed and nothing more. The 11mm shaft splits into seven separable sections, with a compact collapsed length of 37.5cm, and the last section terminates in a conical aluminum tip for piercing firm snow. On the other hand, a quick-assembly strap makes deployments comfortable and intuitive. When speed and simplicity matter, you'll want to have Ortovox's Alu 240 L Probe at hand.
