Solid

Ranked #220 - Shovels
November 24, 2008
Packable, strong, easy to use.
Blade is a bit smaller compared to other shovels. Due to compact size (a positive), the shovel handle's length is shorter than some other shovels currently in the market (negative).
All in all, it does the job. Moved snow just as quickly as other backcountry users.
