Professional Grade

I’ve broken my share of shovels (will not mention brands) but the BD Evac line is about as tough and ergonomic to use as they come. IMO it’s worth the extra $$ when you know you can rely on it.

Sturdy Compact Shovel

Great shovel. Lightweight and compact enough for carrying around but still feels sturdy enough to get the job done.

Fantastic shovel

This is the best shovel out there. When your buddy is under the snow you want the biggest and best this is it. Hoe move let’s you move a ton of snow quickly and the handle helps you dig harder and faster

Best shovel ever but...

Shovel is too large and funny shaped for human powered activities and a small pack. I tried, and benched it. I used it in hoe mode to shovel a roof and I wish I had it years ago for that. This thing moves tons of snow with less effort. A must have for the car, snowmobile or any time you need to move a buttload of snow

My favorite avalanche shovel so far

First Shovel

Just getting into touring, this shovel is massive but still fits will in my pack. It's not quite as lightweight as some of the options with speed holes in it, but this isn't an item worth skimping on. Feels like it will hold up to years of abuse and the mechanism that connects the handle to the shovel is quick and intuitive.

Awesome Sangwich!

Great shovel! I bought this to stow in my trunk as part of my winter car kit. I look forward to the first chance to use it to either dig myself out of a parking spot, or to clear a spot to park in.

Strong shovel

This shovel is bomb proof, I have used it for 4 years and it has held up well with lots of use. I also like how large the shovel is, it can quickly move lots of snow.
