While it's always a good idea to have a snow probe on hand, you can always do better by having a just-in-case backup with K2's Carbon/Aluminum Probe. These lightweight, adjustable poles are designed with a combination of carbon pole fiber and aluminum and in a pinch, you can screw together the two carbon ends for an instant snow probe that's complete with inverted centimeter markings and markings for measuring slope angle.
Features:
- Adjust your pole length and keep them securely fastened with the Lock Jaw Clamping Mechanism that clamps the poles into place with a cam design that's stronger and easier to release
- Determine the slope angle with the built-in inclinometer - poles are marked for accurate measurement while inverted centimeter markings make it easy to measure snow depth
- When a regular probe isn't handy, screw together the two lower carbon sections of these poles for an at-the-ready backup probe
- Your hands are kept comfortable by the Adventure grip design - dual density grips made from soft TPR are contoured at the tops for comfort when you're palming the top of the pole
- When the tips wear out, replace them; the plastic carbide tips are durable, providing good penetration on icy slopes while being less inclined to crack and totally replaceable
