It improves probing accuracy and efficiency thanks to its innovative variable-diameter construction, with the lower effective sections featuring an increased 13-mm diameter and thicker walls to reduce deflection which wastes time and energy in searching.
The probe extends to 240cm and collapses down to 46cm, with 5cm depth marking, has a weight just short of 300g and comes with its own stuff sac. In use it’s quick and efficient thanks to its quick-link ferrules and a single-pull positive-locking deployment, plus a nifty T-handle that clips to the probe for more ergonomic use.
A probe is a mandatory piece of equipment if you’re heading off-piste and the Striker is a good option at a good price.

If you’re heading off-piste a probe is as important a piece of gear as the skis or board beneath your feet, and the Striker 240 is a great new option from MSR.
