Great Probe
"I’ve been really happy with the Mammut Carbon Probe 280 Speedlock. The biggest selling point for me is how quickly and easily it deploys, especially compared to other probes I’ve used. The 280 cm length is a great fit for the snow conditions we typically encounter in Colorado and the Rockies. It’s also incredibly intuitive to use, which makes it a great option for beginners, but it has features that more experienced mountaineers will appreciate, like the depth markings along the probe. I’ve used it for avalanche rescue training, probing glaciers, and checking snow depth when setting up tent sites. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and versatile enough for a variety of backcountry activities. Definitely recommend it."
