This is the minimalist's choice, designed for snowpit evaluation and early-season skiing when the snowpack remains shallow. Made from stiff, oversized aluminum tubing to pierce frozen debris yet pack light for portability, the 190 features easy-to-read markings every five centimeters to provide fast depth readings. The Tour Probe incorporates our new rapid deployment system for lightning-fast set-up and is intended for probing in one to one-and-a-half meters of debris. The QuickDraw system has the best length-to-weight ratio of any probe available. The cable and locking mechanism are housed internally so there are no buttons to accidentally collapse the probe, allowing even the top section to be used. The oversized tubing that accomodates the QuickDraw system results in a stiffer, straighter probe for accurate probing without added weight.
