A sleeve for a probe of an environment-sensing device is provided. The sleeve includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes a first inner surface, a first outer surface, a first body extending between the first inner surface and the first outer surface, at least one first body channel, and a first-portion projection extending axially along the first portion. The second portion includes a second inner surface, a second outer surface, a second body extending between the second inner surface and the second outer surface, at least one second body channel, and a second-portion receiving channel extending axially along the second portion. The at least one first body channel and at least one second body channel include a filler material. The first portion and the second portion are configured to couple together by mating the first-portion projection with the second-portion receiving channel.
