Backcountry Access Tour System Shovel/Probe - 2005
The Backcountry Access Tour Shovel System is the ultimate in lightweight, space-saving, and most importantly, life-saving backcountry gear. At a weight of only 5.4-ounces, the Tour Shovel has a super-strong oval shaft that's easy to grip with a gloved hand. A T-grip is easy to use and can be looped through and worn without a pack with user-supplied webbing or rope. Of course, the shining feature of the Tour Shovel System is its ultra-compact capacity with a six-foot probe that stows inside the shovel shaft. The 6000-series aluminum blade with oval ferrule is super strong, and unlike some lightweight composite blades, can power through set-up snow and ice. AVAILABLE IN FIXED AND EXTENDABLE LENGTHS.
Bottom Line: Backcountry Access raising the bar in shovel integration and design…again.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.
