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.

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.
Change me.
