Shovel Pro Light Deep Black

The Shovel Pro Light Deep Black shovel from the brand Ortovox has been developed for demanding users and experienced ski tourers seeking a very lightweight and highly reliable avalanche safety tool.

Made from hardened and anodised aluminium, this shovel offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and extreme mechanical stresses encountered when digging through hard snow. Its rigid and compact blade measuring 25 × 21 × 4.5 cm with a surface area of 520 cm² is paired with a telescopic handle with a total length of 76 cm (collapsible to 42 cm), providing minimal bulk in the backpack while ensuring effective leverage in rescue situations.

Meeting the highest safety standards in the mountain environment, it holds the UIAA 156 certification dedicated to avalanche rescue shovels. The handle features a quick-lock system for instant assembly in emergency situations, complemented by a grooved shaft that ensures a firm grip and optimal adherence even with wet or icy gloves. Penetration into hardened roller snow or wind slabs is made easier by a sharp and rigid edge, supported by anti-slip grooves on the top of the blade to safely drive the blade in using a boot. The T-handle allows for easy grip, while the blade can also be used as a rescue sled.
