Alu 240 Light Silver

Designed for ski touring and mountaineering enthusiasts seeking highly effective avalanche safety equipment, the Probe Alu 240 Light Silver from Ortovox combines lightness, compactness, and reliability.

Manufactured from high-strength aluminium with a diameter of 11 mm, it ensures excellent structural stability and minimal deformation when probing dense or crusted snow. Its short segment design allows for a folded length of just 37.5 cm and a deployed length of 270 cm, fitting perfectly into your backpack.

Engineered for maximum responsiveness in emergency situations, the probe features the quick-lock system Quick-Lock combined with an internal tension cable made of Aramid. This high-tenacity synthetic material offers exceptional tensile strength while being much lighter than traditional steel cables. It is complemented by an adjustment screw to maintain optimal tension. Deployment is very fast thanks to the quick tension strap and the Quick-Release case. In the field, probing ergonomics are enhanced by a wide tip that creates a channel slightly wider than the rods to reduce friction, while the visual control system and depth markings allow for quick and precise reading of burial depth during rescue operations.
