Arva Probe Race 240 Avalanche Probe

Arva Probe Race 240 – competition-ready avalanche probe for weight-conscious skiers

The Arva Probe Race 240 is an extremely light and compact avalanche probe , developed for skiers, ski tourers and mountaineers who place high demands on low weight, fast handling and reliability. With a total weight of only 120 grams , this is an obvious choice for competition, ski mountaineering and fast alpine adventures where every gram counts.

The probe is ISMF and PDG approved , meaning it meets the requirements for competitive use in ski mountaineering. It is 2.40 meters long when fully extended , but can easily be shortened to 2.10 meters by removing a segment – perfect for situations where pack volume and weight need to be further minimized.

Made from ultra-light 10mm diameter carbon fiber , the Probe Race 240 combines low weight with sufficient rigidity for precise probing. The fast and reliable FLASH LOCK locking system with Kevlar cord allows the probe to be deployed and locked in seconds – crucial in an emergency.

The precise depth markings make it easy to quickly read snow depth upon impact, saving valuable time during rescue operations.
