Lightwieght probe. Use this throughout the Sierras

Great Probe Pole.

This probe is easy to deploy, very long and strong. I have practiced with this probe pole a couple of times. It is pretty intuitive and quick to set up. It is thick enough to not deflect but light so it is easy to carry on long tours.

Solid Feel And Functionality

I bought this probe as a replacement to my previous, shorter probe I purchased 10 or so years ago. I'm quite pleased with this new one, it works as it should with no complications. This new probe has a larger diameter compared to my last one and is very confidence inspiring when probing. The release is a sturdy and simple mechanism, the cable appears durable. Due to its increased length and girth, it's a bit heavier than my last one. But in my opinion, avy gear isn't the place to worry about cutting ounces. Overall, this is a reliable , durable and easy-to-use probe option at a fair price point.

Lightweight, easy to use and easy to read. Very important for avalanche rescue. I’ve gone out to practice with this several times now and each time it deploys quick and easy! Also it’s very visible so other rescuers can come find you if you get the first probe strike.

Excellent Probe.

I have used this probe a handful of times in practice for my AIARE class and in the beacon parks. My instructors recommended the slightly longer length compared to some of the kit ones. Marking on it are clear and I have been able to throw deploy and tension it as fast as any of the probes that were being used. Mammut makes great products. Ill updated again at the end of season as I intend to practice more as the season continues.
