Ortovox avalanche PROBE CARBON 280+ PFA - black

Information from Ortovox:

Carbon is light and rigid, making it the ideal material for our high-end probes. This lightweight carbon probe is 280 cm long and has all the characteristics of a true professional probe. It can be extended, making it the probe of choice for many guides and mountain rescue organizations. Its 13mm diameter combined with its carbon structure makes it incredibly rigid, robust and precise. In addition, its steel cable tensioning system guarantees maximum rigidity. Thanks to its PFA quick release system, it can be assembled in seconds and just as quickly unlocked and stored. The optimized, frost-proof handle ensures a secure grip in all conditions.

Like all our probes, the CARBON 280+ PFA is equipped with a visual control system with depth markings, with a pronounced 1-meter mark. It is delivered in the special Quick-Release case.

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
The 2.0 version 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.
