Arva Light 2.40 Compact Probe

The Light 2.40 Compact Probe is an ultra-light, ultra-simple device that fully lives up to its name. The probe is broken up into eight sections, each around 13 inches long, which gives it a packing length that is 2 to 4 inches shorter than its competitors at the 240cm length. As such, this probe is incredibly compact and will have no problem fitting in your pack, no matter the brand. 

PROS:

• Super light
• Short and packable
• Easy enough to deploy

CONS:

• Difficult tensioning system
• Somewhat of a flimsy feel
• Doesn’t probe through hard snow well
