Ortovox - 240 Light pfa probe

The probe for all weight-oriented winter sport athletes. With 270 g it is the lightest pfa aluminum probe in the Ortovox probe range. With the pfa quick-release tensioning system and the rugged Dyneema draw line, it is ready for use in seconds and just as quickly collapsed again and put together. Slippage of the segments can be ruled out! At 240 cm the burial depth can be read on the individual segments. The grip sleeve made of EVA foam is very pleasant for practice. It is fits ergonomically in the hand and protects the palms from the cold. 

Like all Ortovox probes, the 240 Light pfa is delivered with a practical quick-release cover.

AL 7075 T6

Light and stiff and thus the aluminum of choice for all Ortovox aluminum probes. They use different tube diameters of 11-13 mm – here it means: the thinner the lighter, but less stiff.

PFA tensioning system

PFA stands for \"\"patented flash assembly\"\" and therefore for reliable tensioning within seconds and just as quick release and folding. Tensioning: Simply hold the last element and remove the cap. The elements are secured and the probe is ready for use. Release: Press the quick release up with the thumb and the probe is ready to be folded together.

Quick-release cover

All Ortovox probes are delivered with the high quality cover system that does not use any drawstrings at all. Just compress the opening and pull out probe.

Dyneema® draw line

A lightweight and reliable pull line system.

Anti-slip grip made of EVA foam

The probe fits pleasantly in the hand due to EVA foam while the hands are protected.
