G3 AviTECH Shovel

Item #GGG0078 | 63 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Great shovel

By Ranked #102 - Avalanche Safety June 1, 2009

Seriously sturdy and large enough for shoveling thru avy debris and ice layers.
I misplaced my old shovel, and after a look on other shovels I came to the decision that the only right thing to do was to buy i once again.
It fits perfectly in to my osprey switch 16 which seems to have been tailored around this shovel.
As others have mentioned, the fit between the shaft and the blade can be a little tight, but this really just makes the shovel less rattly when digging.
