Ortovox Beast shovel
The lightweight compact Ortovox Beast shovel with anodised aluminium blade is a legit backcountry beast.
Weighing in at 580g with a telescopic shaft, the high sidewalls on the blade and the defined centre ridge have been designed to increase rigidity so you know you can rely on it to shovel like a demon.
Combine this with the 83cm working length and 2.3 litre scoop volume and you know you’re looking at a genuinely fit-for-purpose bit of kit.
It also packs down easily and the T-grip handle can be converted to work for both left and right-handed users.
Recreational backcountry users will struggle to find a better shovel out there.
