Ortovox Avalanche PROBE ALU 240 PFA - Silver

Information from Ortovox:

In emergency situations, speed is of the essence. That's why we've made our 240 cm Alu probe even more efficient.

Thanks to the optimized PFA system, the ALU 240 PFA is now MORE COMPACT while offering increased maneuverability. The quick tensioning strap allows immediate opening and tensioning with a simple movement. To determine the depth of burial and to optimally adapt to the shoveling strategy, all our probes have easily readable DEPTH GRADUATIONS and a 1 METRE MARKING. The lower segment in fluorescent orange gives a visual indication of the proximity of the victim when digging. The ALU 240 PFA's new and improved RUBBER HANDLE provides a secure grip and won't freeze in all conditions.

BE FASTER

That's what it's all about. Right down to the smallest detail. We develop probes for the specific needs of different types of users. The need for SPEED and ACCURACY is fundamental because it is what can save lives. We work on details that make rescue even more intuitive and, in combination with the DVA and the shovel, can help us rescue the victim even faster.

PFA 2.0 RAPID TENSIONING SYSTEM
Version 2.0 of our often copied quick release system is even THINNER and LESS LARGE, with unchanged quick release performance. Thanks to the NEW TENSIONING STRAP, the probe tightens right out of the case. It relaxes with a simple push of the thumb on the system cover. ERGONOMIC HANDLE The thin, lightweight rubber coating ensures a good grip and does not freeze.

PROBES INTUITIVE GUIDANCE
The intuitive visual guidance system gives a quick and clear indication of the burial depth at all times. The significant 1 m marking, the CONTRASTED DEPTH scale and the COLORED LAST SEGMENT help to OPTIMIZE THE GROUNDING STRATEGY and thus save precious time. The lower fluorescent orange segment clearly shows when you are
approaching the victim.

QUICK-RELEASE HOLSTER
The quick-release strap allows for immediate opening and START-UP with ONE GESTURE without having to remove the probe from the holster first.

LARGE PROBE TIP
A clearly larger diameter than the other probe components ensures better penetration.
