It weighs just 440 g, thanks to carefully placed notches in the blade, and the high sidewalls and center ridge keep it rigid. The shaft is 7075 T6 aluminum, telescopic with a quick lock that doesn’t need a button press, and the handle switches over so it works for left and right handers. It’s certified to the UIAA 156 avalanche shovel standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSPECS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertified to the UIAA 156 avalanche shovel standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade: hardened, anodized 6061 T6 aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShaft: 7075 T6 aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTelescopic shaft with rapid locking, no button press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchover function for left and right handers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT-grip handle with a groove-shaped cross section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-slip step grooves on the blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharp, sturdy cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotches in the blade for building a rescue sled or a snow anchor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with the Ortovox Pro Alu III shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePack-friendly, fits all Ortovox backpacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 440 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal usage: ski touring 5\/5, freeride 5\/5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBUYERS' GUIDE\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat to think about when making the most important shovel decision of your life: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e - do the shaft and blade fit in your pack?
