By CW from Wyoming on 11/02/2009 Pros: Clears a lot of snow, Metal construction, Strong, Tough Best Uses: Icy Conditions, Powder, Shovel for vehicle, Slushy Conditions, White Out Conditions Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Works. Tough. Compact enough. Take in truck. I'm mostly inbounds, so I don't usually take it skiing/boarding but it is light enough. Light and tough is always a compromise on one side or the other. This one goes more towards tough. Great product, just not ultralight.
Solid Shovel, hate the flames. By Zigmondo from Seattle, WA on 05/11/2009 Pros: Durable, Lightweight Cons: Kind of Ugly, Poor construction Describe Yourself: Advanced Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I own the lexan lifelink which is really well made. Mine is a little melted from storage under the hood, but works fine. I hoped this onw would be as nice, but in allum.
I own a Violle and and BCA traverse shovels and this one does not feel nearly as well made as the other two. It was a pretty good deal, but I would not buy this again.
By Zac from Irvine, CA on 03/23/2009 Best Uses: Icy Conditions, Powder Describe Yourself: Advanced Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Took this shovel up Whitney with me last weekend- it served well- my only wish is that it were lighter - but its about the same weight as the rest of the shovels....
By Mike from Whidbey Island Washington on 03/03/2009 Pros: Easy To Use, Lightweight Best Uses: Powder, Slushy Conditions Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Used it on a snow camping trip with a Boy Scout troop near Mt Baker Washington. Blade doubles as an insulator between snow and stove (careful blade could melt if you're not careful).
Collapses well. Handle a little bit "wobbly" but effective enough. Hard to dig in icy snow. Okay in conjunction with ice ax.

Solid shovel, solid value By Chris from Upper Peninsula on 01/16/2009 Pros: Durable, Easy To Pack, Effective, Inexpensive, Simple To Use Best Uses: Backcountry Camping, Day Trips, Road Trips, Winter Conditions Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Bombproof shovel. Spent three straight hours shoveling a pile of snow for a quinzee shelter. Two feed deep snow didn't stop it. Was very impressed. 10 inches isn't ideal for piling, but was surprised with how fast it went. It is ideal for digging which is what it does best.
