G3 Professional Tech Probe

When lives are on the line, we hope you carry the G3 Professional Tech Probe in case that life-or-death situation literally spills out in front of you. This industrial-series probe is crafted specifically for applications of rescue services like ski patrol and search-and-rescue, so you know it’s ready for action. Time is the most crucial factor in the event of a slide, which is where the foolproof, knot-and-cable tension system excels. The coated, stainless steel cable is guaranteed to not fail and will remain corrosion-free throughout the life of the probe.

  • High-strength aluminum ferrules are tested to ensure they won’t bend or fail under load
  • This tech-version probe has ruled increment lines every 5cm, which makes it ideal for snow study
  • Heavy-duty design focuses on increased strength and snow penetration
  • 50% Less deflection from the oversized 5/8” Easton 7075 E9 aluminum tubing and 40% increased wall thickness increases its weight, but makes it ideal for avalanche rescues in the harshest conditions
  • 240 and 320cm probe lengths meet diverse needs of all users

Bottom Line: When time is not on your side, deploy the tried and tested function of this live saving device.

The probe to get

By: Backcountry.com Sponsored Athlete
December 3, 2009

If you are going to carry a probe (and you should), this is the one to get. It isn't the lightest or easiest to assemble, but it is very strong and won't let you down. Doily little carbon probes and ski pole probes bend and break in hard snow or avalanche debris. The G3 Pro Tech probe will not only last through many practice probes, but will work when you leave it set up for weeks at a time while probing glaciers for crevasses.

The large diameter tubing and stout ferrules are a plus. The downside is that the screw top adjustment takes time, but hopefully your partner can be digging for the victim while you are getting your probe set up.
