The lightest aluminium probe on the market and features lightning fast deployment

The 240 light PFA avalanche safety probe has been specifically designed for the weight conscious winter athletes. It is the lightest aluminium probe in the ortovox range and features the pfa quick release tensioning system, with dyneema draw line, which means its ready to use within seconds, thus making search and rescues lightning fast...after all, every second counts! At 240 cm the burial depth can be read on the individual segments. The grip sleeve made of EVA foam is very pleasant for practice. It is fits ergonomically in the hand and protects the palms from the cold.
Like all Ortovox probes, the 240 Light pfa is delivered with a practical quick-release cover.

Ortovox are a specialist avalanche safety company who make some of the highest quality products in the industry. At the end of the day, you cant put a price on the safety of both yourself and your friends so why settle for anything but the best...Choose Ortovox!

Features Include:

Dyneema® draw line - A lightweight, reliable and low-stretch pull line system.

Quick-release cover - All Ortovox probes are delivered with the high quality cover system that do without any drawstrings at all. Just compress the opening and pull out probe.

Depth marker - Here you can read the burial depth and accordingly schedule your shovelling strategy.

PFA tensioning system - PFA stands for patented flash assembly and therefore for reliable tensioning within seconds and just as quick release and folding. Tensioning: Simply hold the last element and remove the cap. The elements are secured and the probe is ready for use. Release: Press the quick release up with the thumb and the probe is ready to be folded together.

AL 7075 T6 - Light and stiff and thus the aluminum of our choice for all aluminum probes. We use different tube diameters of 11-13 mm – here it means: the thinner the lighter, but less stiff.

Anti-slip grip made of EVA foam - The probe fits pleasantly in the hand due to EVA construction foam while the hands are protected, because the material conducts cold very badly.
