Mammut Carbon Probe

Carbon probes are significantly lighter and stiffer than aluminum alternatives. This rigidity is crucial for probing through dense avalanche debris, as it prevents the probe from flexing and allows for more precise feedback when you strike an object.

The Speed Lock system is designed specifically for high-stress, cold-weather environments. It features a glove-friendly design and provides an audible click, so you can confirm the probe is fully tensioned and locked without needing to remove your gloves or visually inspect the mechanism.

Yes, 280 cm is the industry-standard length for most backcountry scenarios. It provides sufficient reach for the majority of avalanche burial depths while remaining compact enough to fit inside most standard avalanche safety packs.

The drop-shaped tip is engineered to reduce friction as you penetrate the snowpack. By creating a slightly larger hole than the shaft diameter, it requires less physical effort to push the probe through compacted or icy snow layers.

It is a practical safety feature that keeps critical rescue protocols immediately accessible. In a high-stress emergency situation, having a clear, step-by-step guide attached to your gear can help ensure your team follows the correct procedure without hesitation.

The probe features precise scaling on both sides, which helps with readability in various lighting conditions. While they are not illuminated, the high-contrast markings are designed to be clearly visible against the snow when you are measuring burial depth.
