The high-tech successor to the world's best-selling avalanche shovel for professionals. The classic Ortovox model incorporates the most innovative materials and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes to achieve the perfect weight-to-stiffness ratio. Stabilizing ribs and high sidewalls make the anodized blade rigid, while the integrated handle attachment ensures easy packing. The quick-release mechanism allows the blade and the grooved telescopic handle to be assembled with one hand. The revolutionary T-Grip Pro can be adjusted for both left- and right-handed users and also serves as the basis for the efficient clearing function. One hand can grip the long side of the handle, which acts as an ergonomic pulling lever, while the other hand has maximum grip on the rubberized grip zone of the handle.
