ORTOVOX Probe Carbon 240 Superlight avalanche probe, black

The ORTOVOX CARBON 240 SUPERLIGHT avalanche probe is light (185 g), compact and without compromises in strength and length. You will appreciate the intuitive depth marking and the Quick Lock system for quick folding of the probe, which will make it much easier and faster to rescue the buried.

• QUICK LOCK locking system.
• Tip wider than probe parts.
• Tapered leads for quick assembly.
• 1 m depth marking.
• Colored warning sign of the vicinity of the buried.
• Marking the depth after 5 cm.

You can rely on the probe even in hard snow

• The diameter of the probe is 10 mm and provides sufficient rigidity.
• Made of carbon - high strength with very low weight.
• Aramid rope is strong, light and 6 times more durable than steel.
• The steel conical tip is wider than the diameter of the probe, thanks to which friction and freezing of the probe against the walls of the puncture is eliminated, and at the same time you can penetrate the snow more easily with the probe. 

Only 37.5 cm when folded

• The probe length of 240 cm is sufficient even for large deposits in the avalanche zone.
• 7 parts 37.5 cm long, you can also pack them in a small racing backpack.
• The new Quick Lock system is simple and resistant to damage. 

Intelligent depth marking

Marking the depth of 1 m decides for you which direction to dig from and saves so many precious minutes during the rescue.

• dig from the side if the marking is 1 m below the snow
• dig from above if the marking is above the snow surface

This recommendation is based on the latest IKAR methodological guidelines. When digging, the penultimate blue part serves as a warning that you are approaching the backfill. The last neon-orange part at the end of the probe is a warning for more careful digging to avoid injury to the buried. The probe has a depth marking of 5 cm.

Folding the probe in one quick movement

The QUICK LOCK locking system allows you to quickly assemble the probe with one movement and also to tighten the probe using the thread. You fold the probe in one continuous movement right when you take it out of the package - just pull the end of the aramid cable and then secure it at the top of the probe. The conical approaches will help you assemble the probe easily and without snagging. When folding, you just need to easily release the Quick Lock system. Controlling the probe is easy, even if you are wearing gloves.
