Black Diamond QuickDraw Tour Probe 190

As the shortest and lightest Black Diamond probe available, the QuickDraw Tour Probe 190 makes a great pick for shallow-snowpack spring ski trips or times when weight is a major issue. Black Diamond gave this compact probe tapered furrels and a one-pull setup, so you don't waste a second when seconds count. Markings every five centimeters help you accurately evaluate snow pits. The QuickDraw Tour Probe 190 is also a favorite of alpine climbers who want to be prepared but can't afford any extra weight.

Bottom Line: Go ultralight on backcountry ski trips with the 7.9-ounce Black Diamond QuickDraw Tour Probe 190.

If you carry a probe, make it a good one

Probes are not the place to cut corners and try to save weight - they need to be simple, quick to set up and reliable. I like this probe as it can survive a good, hard pounding without breaking. Other probes I've tested in hard snow (like automated beacon test sites) have bowed, bent and/or had the tensioning mechanism come loose. Not this one.

Buy a longer probe

By:

If you are doing backcountry skiing and need a beacon, definitely get something longer than a 190. I own this and after using it for one season you realize if you ever had to use this probe other than in drills, the extra little money for a longer probe definitely makes you and the people you are skiing with feel a lot more comfortable

Buy the 265 or even the Black Diamond 300. Read my above review, its always worth the extra money to have a longer probe.

Quality equipment

Goes together quick and holds great to some serious impacts and to hardest snow conditions. I use it both for skiing and smowmobiling. Another quality Black Diamond piece of equipment.

Multiple uses

This probe flips out and is ready to go in about 1.2 seconds.. the click-top lock is super easy and super quick.. Thankfully, the only thing I had to use it for on my last trip was checking for rocks in the snowbank under our cabin so we could jump off the deck after a few cocktails, but it worked. A somewhat unique feature is the sandpaper-ish grip, which is really effective in keeping the probe in your hands, but tears your gloves up a bit - if you're using your probe, your gloves are the last thing you care about, so I am backing it... dropping your probe during a search is just not good. Great probe.
