Backcountry Access SR3 Avalanche Probe

For organized search and rescue teams, instructors, or anyone who wants extra length and bombproof durability for constant use, the Backcountry Access SR3 Avalanche Probe is the one to reach for. This is BCA's longest probe at 9 feet 8 inches fully extended, and features their thickest diameter 7075 aluminum tubing for extra stiffness and resilience under stress. There's a weight penalty involved with the SR3's burly, long construction, but if the difference between finding and losing a victim is a matter of inches, you'll be glad you have them to spare.

Bottom Line: When the days are long and conditions are merciless, the Backcountry Access SR3 Avalanche Probe works as hard as you do.

Backcountry Access SR3 Avalanche Probe

This is definitely one of the best probes for any area that gets a decent amount of snow. If you want to risk a buddy's life because you wanted to save a couple ounces, look elsewhere, but I'm led to believe that the extra couple feet is a lot more important than a couple ounces. It'll fold out quick, get through gnarly chunks of avy debris, and basically just do what it's designed to do, and in the situations you'll be using it, that's what matters most.

You cant go wrong with Bca products, High Quality. I took my first Avy class this year, and he brought up some good points on all of the gear. Probes need to be strong enough to pierce thru ice chunks and heavy pack, and long enough so that you dont bend over every time you probe. Your friends life may depend on your choice.
