The RESCUE 300 probe is crafted for professionals and backcountry lovers in regions with consistently deep snowpack. Its 13mm diameter tube, paired with a combined cable and RACK LOCK locking system, makes it an incredibly robust and accurate probe. This probe fully extends to 3.00m with 8 segments, and is 37.5cm long when compact. The 13mm diameter tubes are made of strong and durable 7075 aluminum, and a stainless - steel tension cord ensures long - lasting performance. The RACK LOCK locking system lets you quickly tighten the tension cable by simply pulling the handle during deployment. The pull handle simplifies probe deployment and can be snapped onto the tube once the victim is found and shoveling begins. Cone inserts facilitate easy assembly of tube segments, and a grip provides comfortable handling. Precise markings on the probe help you determine snow depth. It meets all UIAA equipment standard 157 requirements for 'Avalanche Rescue Probes'. Weighing only 400g, it's a lightweight yet reliable tool for avalanche rescue.
Using the Arva Rescue 300 Avalanche Probe is straightforward. First, pull the handle to deploy the probe. Thanks to the RACK LOCK locking system, just give the handle a good tug to tighten the tension cable and extend the probe to its full 3.00m length. When assembling the tube segments, use the cone inserts to make the process easy. Once you've located the victim, snap the pull handle onto the tube so it's out of the way while you start shoveling. As you probe, the precise markings on the probe will show you the snow depth. When it comes to maintenance, keep it clean after each use. Wipe off any snow or debris, especially from the tension cord and the locking system. Store it in a dry place to prevent the aluminum tubes from corroding. Make sure to check the RACK LOCK system regularly to ensure it's working properly. Also, don't forget to keep the probe away from sharp objects that could damage the tubes or the cord.
