Shave weight from your backcountry skiing pack with the 6.2oz Ortovox 240cm PFA Carbon Probe. Not only does this probe have a carbon shaft and KEVLAR® cord to help reduce its weight, Ortovox also gave it their Patented Flash Assembly (PFA) to make it set up extremely quickly. Just a tug on the T-handle, and you're ready to go.
Bottom Line: The PFA Carbon is a fast-and-light probe for fast-and-light backcountry skiing.

I have never had to use this (fortunately), but it is worth the money. It is well made, sturdy and extremely light. So easy to assemble and disassemble.

For a piece of equipment that I hope never to use for real, I sure train with this a lot. It's function is smooth and reliable, and light weight to keep pack weight down. The real deciding factor for me was the longer warranty period that Ortovox offers, especially for a carbon probe.
Very Light & Very Effective

Very light, sufficiently long, sufficiently stiff, and assembles with a single pull.
Worth the extra few bucks..

Very quick set up when seconds count. Durable, and super light for a probe; in situations when ounces matter. I feel it was worth the extra coin.
Good piece of equipment

Hard to go wrong with this Probe. Nice and light with a great handle, but hopefully I'll never need to use it.
Change me.
