Black Diamond QuickDraw Carbon Fiber Probe 230

Item #BLD1106 | 22 in Stock
4 Star Rating

mitten friendly

By Ranked #135 - Avalanche Safety April 6, 2009

2 things impressed me: 1. The grab loop is rubberized and mitten friendly. 2. the top section of probe has skate board tape on it making it more mitten friendly for fast assembly. Just tug and go.
THERE ARE NO SCREWS TO FUMBLE WITH.
I would give it a five if I could hear the fastener click into place when it's built.

make sure you're pulling it tight, all the way. the first time i tugged it together, i didn't notice that the barrel lock wasn't totally "clicked" into place. after disassembling it and trying again, i tugged harder and the barrel lock audibly clicked into place, assuring that the probe is locked and loaded.
