Mammut Speedlock Avalanche Probe

The Fast Lock system is designed for one-pull deployment. You simply pull the handle to extend the probe, and the tensioning mechanism automatically locks the segments into place, allowing you to start probing immediately without fumbling with complex fasteners.

Yes, the probe is specifically engineered for glove-friendly operation. The handle and locking mechanism are sized and textured to provide a secure grip and easy manipulation even when you are wearing bulky mountaineering or ski gloves.

The drop-shaped tip is designed to reduce friction as you probe through dense or debris-filled snow. This shape helps the probe penetrate more efficiently, saving you energy and time during a search.

The probe features precise, dual-sided depth markings that allow you to quickly read the snow depth at a glance. This is helpful not only for rescue scenarios but also for conducting snowpack stability tests and profiling layers in the backcountry.

The carbon construction offers an excellent balance of being lightweight while remaining rigid and bend-resistant. This stiffness is crucial for accurate probing, as it prevents the probe from flexing when you encounter dense snow or avalanche debris.

With a collapsed length of 45 cm, this probe is compact enough to fit inside most standard avalanche safety compartments in ski and mountaineering packs. Always double-check your specific pack's probe sleeve dimensions to ensure a perfect fit.
