For skiers looking to reduce weight without sacrificing the ability to probe in one to two meters of debris, the Carbon Fiber 230 is our lightest probe for the length. Made from ultralight carbon fiber with metal-tube inserts at the joints and a large 13 mm diameter, it’s stiff and highly durable. The six sections are marked every five centimeters and lock instantly into place with our ultra simple QuickDraw mechanism.
