Pieps 30 Plus XT II

A great tool for fast and accurate measurement of slope angles, with the major advantage of always being to hand. Anything that makes snow/slope analysis easier is welcome addition to my kit list. The gauge fits securely to my pole and is easy to switch on wearing gloves, just lay the pole on the slope and you have the slope angle. If you stick the pole into the snow to bury the gauge you get an accurate temperature reading as well. The main advantage of this XT version of the 30 Plus, aside from being lower profile is that the battery can be changed, whereas the old version had to be returned to Pieps.
