Great product - EZ to use - extremely light and compact.

As stated in previous reviews, the extra width of the shovel isn't really needed, I found the Black diamond transfer 3 would of been more suitable for my needs. Hard to stow in shovel straps on my pack with snowshoes & poles

Compact and ready to use when you need it for safety and a great winter camp item.

I use this shovel regularly to plow through massive quantities of snow in the Sierra. The handle pops into my ice axe loops on both of my packs for extended travel. I have stopped bringing any sort of shelter with me knowing I can quickly build anything from an igloo to a snow grave. The construction seems pretty durable and the blade routinely gets abused breaking up ice, hard snow, and once even cutting downed tree limbs. Note - convince your buddies to buy one too so you aren't the only one doing the work.

With this winter being VERY mild, I haven't had a chance to put it to the test. However, I've had enough snow experience (U.S. Army Special Forces) to recognize quality equipment.
