Voile Tourlight Probe 260

From one of the most trusted names in backcountry travel comes a lightweight, easy to use avalanche probe—the Voile Tourlight Probe 260. The Voile Tourlight 260 probe assembles in seconds by pulling the lead inner tube attached to a coated stainless steel cable. It locks into place with a simple, strong pop up button. Interior probe cables tend to stretch over time, so Voile has addressed this issue with a brass knob that is attached to the cable allowing you to tighten or loosen the tension. There are markings on the probe every 5 cm to determine snow depth and aid in snow study.

Bottom Line: The Voile Tourlight 260 probe is a probe that everybody from beginner to seasoned veteran will appreciate.

Review Title

i just saw this at REI and think i might have to exchange my BD quickdraw carbon fiber 230 for this voile. the voile seems to fold up quite a bit smaller and more compact. plus it's a little bit longer, and i'm not sure that i could actually feel the difference between 1.9 oz. weight difference.

the handle on this doesn't seem quite as good as the BD handle, but if you can replace it easily enough if it wears out, then it's all good.

i ended up getting this probe and returning my black diamond quickdraw 230. this voile sets up every bit as quick as the quickdraw. and it folds up and fits much nicer in my pack. the diameter is significantly smaller on this than on the BD quickdraw as well — which might make it slightly more flimsy, but i think it will also make it more efficient in actual probing instances.

i also noticed on voile's site that they have this same probe in an even lighter (8oz) model. it happens to be about $5 cheaper too.

I've been using this probe for four seasons now with no complaints. It's a solid length, it's lightweight, and it can be put together in just seconds.

Performs well

Probe performs very well - snaps together in a snap. Negative? The cloth handle holds up for about as long as the recent bailout package stimulated the economy. You'll probably find yourself buying some thin climbing rope and make a new handle.

My probe of choice

Put this probe to use over the last 2 years and it performs as if it is new. Extends extremely quick and holds form when you need it. Voile always makes great products and this is one of their best. Very lightweight too.
