Essential Peak-Bagging Gear Before Heading for the Hills This Summer

This is BD’s lightest avalanche probe. It adds just half a pound to your pack and is fast and easy to deploy in the case of a snow slide. The probe has a wiregate locking mechanism that secures the shaft so you don’t need a stuff sack. The pullcord is a weight-saving Kevlar material. It’s a tool you hope you’ll never need, but always carry.
