G3 Professional Probe 240 & 320

Description

The world's most popular choice for professionals and recreational winter lovers around the world, G3 Professional Avalanche Probes are now available in five models and these are two of the best for most of the winter travellers out there. Everything you need just in case you or your friends get caught in an Avalanche but this also doubles as a great drying rack. I have carried G3 Probes for a few years now and they are the most solid and easy to use...yeah some are faster to get open but in the end it's about deflection when you hit those hard layers of snow and the G3 pushes right through it!!!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not over tighten red nut. Excess tension along the length of the probe will cause probe to flex unnecessarily. Optimal performance is achieved when red nut and silver screw are finger-tight.
