Striker™ Snow Probes by MSR

Variant

Full aluminum strength and reliability to meet the demands of guides, climbers and professionals.

The Striker 320 probe is engineered for guides, professionals and dedicated recreationalists who demand a long, reliable probe for deep snow packs, search-and-rescue applications and expeditions. With beefed-up strength and stiffness targeted in its critical lower sections to reduce deflection, the Striker’s unique construction also keeps it impressively light. Add fast assembly, and the Striker 240 & 320 deliver crucial efficiency from deployment all the way to a strike.  The Striker CX 320 probe combines the durability of high-strength aluminum lowers with ultralight carbon fiber uppers. This hybrid design makes it ideal for patrollers, snow-science experts and anyone seeking a professional-length probe at one of the lightest weights possible. MSR’s innovative dual-diameter construction builds on its precision design by placing superior stiffness where you need it most for greater probing accuracy, all without adding unnecessary weight.

  • Durable: High-strength, lightweight 7075 aluminum construction, with corrosion-resistant coated stainless steel cable.
    • 320CX:  Aluminum-Carbon Hybrid Performance:
  • Dual-Diameter Construction: A 13-mm diameter and thicker wall maximize stiffness in critical lower sections for truer, more accurate probes; 11 mm uppers shed weight.
  • Fast Deployment: Single-pull design, quick-link ferrules and instant-locking pin deploy probe fast when time matters.
  • Hassle-Free Probing: Textured top section offers added grip. Glove-friendly T-handle clips to shaft during use; and 5 cm depth markings are off-set for 360° visibility—all adding key efficiency.
  • Comes in a quick-deploy, featherweight stuff sack.
