Love It!

Ranked #441 - Shovels

This was a great purchase! Not only is it light, but it is VERY strong for the weight. The probe tucks neatly in the handle, and the blade (maybe a little smaller than I would have in serious avalanche country) fits neatly in outside pocket of most packs. Nothing out there compares for strength to weight ratio.
