Description

Dig like a machine with the Backcountry Access Dozer 1T avalanche shovel. It makes quick work of snow with an extendable T-grip, strong and grippable shaft, and low-profile "stompable" blade.

Features
  • Extendable T-grip provides a firm hold
  • Ovo-concave (oval concave radius) shaft with variable offset sliding surfaces is strong and grippable
  • Low-profile blade features a flat "stomp edge," letting you penetrate snow and ice by adding body weight
  • The front third of the blade offers a smooth surface for forming clean snow pit walls during snow stability tests
  • Auto-engaging spring pins at the blade/shaft connection make for faster assembly and deployment
  • Shovel is designed to lie flat in your pack with no protruding ferrule or neck, leaving more room for other backcountry gear
  • Meets the UIAA standard for avalanche rescue shovels
  • Backed by the manufacturer's 3-year Limited Warranty
