The probe is constructed from 7001 T6 aluminum, which is a high-grade alloy known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio. It is rigid enough to probe through dense avalanche debris without bending, yet light enough to carry in your pack all day.

Yes, the shaft includes clear, precise depth markings. These allow you to quickly measure snow depth and identify specific layers within the snowpack during stability tests.

When disassembled, the probe collapses down to 40 cm. This compact size allows it to fit easily inside most standard avalanche safety backpacks without taking up excessive room.
