Ortovox says about theProbe Steel 320+ PFA

The probe for all rescue organizations. The STEEL 320 + PFA is our extendible professional steel probe with PFA system, 320cm in length. Thanks to the optimized PFA system, this professional probe can be assembled at lightning speed and is also more compact. The quick-assembly strap sets up the probe using a robust steel cable draw without causing the elements to shift. As with all our probes, this professional probe features easy-to-read depth markers, a clear 1-meter marker and a bottom segment in neon orange, which provides a visual indication of the proximity of the victim. The 12mm diameter of the steel segments makes the STEEL 320+ PFA extremely durable and rigid. It comes in a length of 320cm, but can be extended using additional segments. The new and improved rubberized grip also ensures safe, ice-free handling in all conditions. BE QUICKER That’s what it’s about. In every detail.
