BCA Stealth 300 Avalanche Probe 24/25

The BCA Stealth 300 is a 300 cm aluminum avalanche probe that collapses to 43 cm and weighs about 360 g. It uses BCA's Stealth Quick-Lock hardware and a nesting bundle that folds smaller and does away with loose cables.

The trade-off against a carbon probe is weight. Aluminum is a bit heavier, but it is durable and dependable, and the 1.3 cm diameter shaft is stiff for probing dense debris.

It is for every backcountry skier and rider, from people taking their first avalanche course to guides. Laser-etched dual-sized depth markings make it easy to read depth fast in a rescue, and it is certified to the UIAA standard for avalanche probes.

At 300 cm it is a full-length probe, a good standard choice for most snowpacks. It stores easily in any pack's avy tool sleeve.

We think every skin track in the Notch is safer with a probe like this in every pack.
