Lightweight aluminum avalanche probe with efficient PFA quick clamping system.
The Alu 240 PFA avalanche probe from Ortovox is a sturdy aluminum probe with a particularly simple quick-release system. Especially in an emergency, when every second counts, speed is of the essence. The Alu 240 PFA avalanche probe can be pulled out of the sheath thanks to the loop and immediately opened and tensioned. So you don't have to take the probe out of the sheath. The thin and light rubber coating on the ergonomic handle ensures a perfect grip when tensioning the probe. The special feature of the often copied PFA quick clamping system 2.0 has become even slimmer and thus more pack-friendly with the same stepless clamping performance. The probe is simply released by pressing the thumb against the system lid. Of course, the probe also has depth markings, but also an intuitive visual guidance system. Thanks to the clear one-meter marking, the high-contrast depth scale and the colored end segments, you can estimate the burial depth in a flash, communicate and quickly adapt the shovel strategy to the burial depth. The probe tip, which is significantly larger in diameter, allows for easier penetration even in hard snow. The lowest, neon orange segment shows you when you are getting close to the buried victim while shoveling. If it is uncovered, it is called carefully continue shoveling. With this avalanche probe, thought out in every detail, you can save important time!
