Light weight, tough, reliable
The shovel is light weight, collapsible, quick to assemble in an emergency, and great at cutting through snow. No complaints or changes needed. One thing I am curious to see is the durability of the button locking system to extend/collapse the shovel and attach/detach the head. Will the button locks hold up over time?

Lightweight, compact and strong
Simple, compact, easy and quick to assemble. Most importantly it is strong enough to dig a full pit through harsh snow.

Sharp, works as needed.
I have used this for 2 Avvy rescue courses, it's easy to deploy and can slice, chop, scoop, and shove.

She digs
If you're looking for a lightweight, compact and packable shovel look no further. The head digs great and the handle is very comfortable. I especially like the extendable/collapsible handle. Frankly, you will not find a better deal on a quality shovel, especially if you're just getting into back country.

Seems good but I haven't been caught in any avalanches since I got it.
It seems sturdy, the blade is a bit smaller than I expected and it's a bit heavier than I had expected aswell. For the time being I'll chalk it up to the shovel being better constructed than my last one but as I said in the title, I wont know until it's put to the test.

Never Used, Thankfully
It's a little heavier than other models, but then I didn't spend the big bucks. Handle collapses and shovel disassembles and fits into all my packs no problem. Very happy with the design and portability.
