What is the difference with the T6/orange one verses the blue and yellow? It has different holes in the blade? What does one size refer to? Thanks

You can also run webbing through the holes and use the shovel as a deadman anchor for self rescue. Also the T6 has 6000 series tempered aluminum shovel head meant for heavy use.

The holes in the blade are so you can run webbing through it and wear it independently instead of having to fold it up in a pack. One size refers to that all three colors have the same dimensions which are listed in the tech specs on the right side.
