Works like a charm. I
Works like a charm. I especially like the bold markings at 30cm and 90cm, which make it super quick to find common test column measurements. It's beefier than my BCA probe, but still packs away nicely. Deployment is a snap as well, and it punches through debris with ease.

Works Well
Works just as well as other probes I've used. The numbers wear off after a decent amount of use from digging pits etc. Snow can get stuck in the release for the chord making it difficult to collapse it.

Great Avalanche Pole
Deploys great with a bit of practice. Is able to penetrate snow/ice layers easily. Fits great into pack. I like how the pole strap makes it easy to quickly pull out of the pack.

Probe
Easy to put together and take apart which is what you want in a good probe! Visible numbers for snow depth are also very helpful!

Great probe
Thank God I haven’t had to use it yet. I ski inbounds at resorts in Tahoe. There have been avalanches inbounds the past few years. I bought this to use in case of emergency for my friends and family. I wear a backpack to ski and this is light and breaks down easily. I am impressed with its ease of operation and well marked depth measurements. This and a shovel will always be in my pack. It feels solid and the lock engages easily and is easy to unlock and fold.

Solid
A solid product that I don't have to worry about breaking when I need it most, would love to see the numbers continue onto the final section but not a big deal. Been using this for a while and will continue to.

Great, simple to use.
This is easy to use and has nice quick release and locking to make it easy to deploy and also to break down for storage after use.
