Mammut

Probe 320 Speed Lock

Best for California deep snowpack. Why i went with the 320. Used in the back country as a part of my avi pack.

Great Probe

Ideal probe. 320 is the way to go, and get aluminum! It’s not worth shedding a couple of grams for a carbon one that might break on you when it matters most. While there’s other options out there with these specs, this does the job well. Be familiar with the markings. For me these are ideal.

Good Quality Probe

It's long but a bit bulky. It's tough to fit in the probe slot of my backpack. Seems quality

Quickest deploying probe

This mammut probe is extremely easy to use. Unpack it, throw it to the side so it extends, and pull the quick tab to compress all links into each other. A crisp audible click will let you know you've successfully locked the probe in. I couldn't think of an easier design so I'd have to say this is darn near perfect. I can't speak for longevity yet, but it seems this one will be just fine. Another great Mammut product.

Probe 320

Easy and fast to put together. Will be use for backcountry skiing.

Good so far

I like it so far, but already showing some signs of use pretty early on. I use it a lot for ski patrol work digging pits and running drills. Have already worn off the numbers down low from probing down to dirt/around tree branches. Once it came apart when the tip got stuck in the dirt and I pulled up but I may not have locked it out enough. Little worried about the string draw cord but it's holding up so far. Good probe for deep PNW snow packs.

Quick draw

A 320m probe is a bit overkill, but was suggested to get a probe 3m and above. It has the best construction and is quick to open. Fits well in the pack.

This probe replaced one that is too short for the amount of snow that I'll find myself in. Beyond the increased length, the deployment action is smoother than the old probe, even with mitts on. Top that off with a brighter colour scheme, and this new probe is a real winner. Hopefully, I'll never have to use it in a burial, but it's great for snow study.

very fast deployment

pretty light probe for it's lenght. I ski in British Columbia and can't go wrong with the 320. Very easy to unfold it at the same time as throwing it and there's a lock to make sure it wont "break" while you are using it. I recommend ! MAMMUT are the best in the game for avalanche safety.

Great probe, use for work

Great probe, just a bit tricky if snow gets in the top latch. When the probe stays in my pack, it is lightweight. It is also easy to deploy and use. The only issue is when the snow gets stuck in the top attachment part and I have to remove it. This is great for any level, maybe a bit long for some areas where they don't receive as much snow but all around excellent probe
