BCA Stealth Avalanche Probe

Yes, 270 cm is widely considered the industry standard for recreational and professional use. It provides enough length to probe through typical avalanche debris while remaining manageable and lightweight for your pack.

The Stealth probe uses specialized locking hardware designed to snap into place quickly, even in freezing conditions. Because it nests compactly without loose cables, you avoid the common issue of tangles that can slow you down during a high-stress deployment.

Unlike printed markings that can fade or peel with heavy use, the laser-etched depth markings are cut directly into the aluminum. They are designed to remain legible and high-contrast throughout the lifespan of the probe, even after repeated snow profiling.

Absolutely. The dual-sized depth markings make it an excellent tool for snow profiling and checking snowpack layers. Its 13 mm diameter provides the necessary rigidity to penetrate dense snow layers without excessive bending.

When collapsed, the probe measures 45 cm. This compact size allows it to fit easily inside most dedicated avalanche safety compartments in standard ski and snowboard backpacks.
