A probe only matters in the worst moment of a tour, and when that moment comes, seconds matter more than almost anything else. The Black Diamond Quickdraw Pro Probe in 280cm gives you extra reach beyond the standard 240cm length, worth having if you're regularly touring with larger groups or in terrain with deep, variable snowpack where a burial could be deeper than average. It's built around a cable lock mechanism that deploys in one pull, high-contrast depth markings you can actually read fast, and a stiff 7075 aluminum construction that punches through hard-packed debris instead of flexing on you. UIAA certified, meaning it meets the recognized standard for avalanche rescue gear, and trusted by everyone from weekend tourers to ski patrol and professional guides.
