Ortovox Carbon 280+ PFA Probe Reviews

April 11, 2020Great Probe for Mountaineering!
I work as a ski and mountaineering guide in Alaska, and while I've been lucky enough not to have deployed this probe in an emergency, I use it a lot while at work to probe out cornices on summits, crevasses at camp, and many a snow pit. It's quick to deploy with bulky gloves on, and I love the extra grip at the top. The color coordination makes it easy to quickly determine snowpack… read more depth. I've found it to be very durable and appreciate the thick diameter. My back loves the carbon fiber material - it's great to save a few ounces when carrying a heavy pack! I've had my probe for several years and haven't had any issues with it's durability. I am a member of the Ortovox team and have been given this product to test and use.

Fortunately I've never had to deploy this probe in the backcountry yet. But my initial impressions are that it's very light, easy to snap together and built very solid. The depth markings are highlighted well so it's easy to gauge how deep you are probing in the snow. It also comes with a nice storage bag.
