Good fit.

This shovel fits well in most packs. I have a Dakine Blade pack for day-trips and this easily fits in the dedicated outer shovel/probe pack. It is a burely design, but still light weight.
I think the shovel size is more than adequate for its intended use.
Only complaint would be that there is some play in the handle, but I do not think that it affects the use.
Obviously it is a short handle, but when shoveling you should be on your knees regardless!!
Definitely pick one up. You can't go wrong with Black Diamond.
