MSR Striker 240 Probe

Compact, exceptionally light and ultra-stiff, the Striker 240 probe adds a new level of reliability to the touring gear of skiers, snowboarders and snowshoes in the backcountry. Unlike flimsy probes, its stronger, stiffer lower sections reduce time-wasting deflection, offering greater accuracy and efficiency when probing in a strategic search. Combined with fast, reliable deployment, the Striker 240 refines this mandatory component of your safety kit.
