"My first shovel had an issue and they were very prompt in replacing it. The new one is great!"
"Deploy shovel collapses well. Nicely planned product. Can't wait for snow in the east to DEPLOY."
"Good design, easy to deploy quickly."
"Awesome shovel that I keep in the back of my SUV. Ready at anytime folded in the back ."
"It's nice not having to store two parts. Fits perfect in M cirque 22 ski vest. Makes it quicker to remove / use with one or two less steps of grabbing / attaching a handle. Love it."
"Love this concept. Keep the pieces together for speed and efficiency. Not my mainstay for winter camping, but amazing for quick and light touring."
"I've had this shovel for around 3 years, and it works great. It packs down small, fits well in any bag, and is quick to put together. It's a bit small to use as anything but an avvy shovel, but it's fantastic for its intended purpose."
"Very compact but strong. Taller people might find it a bit short but easy and fast to “deploy”"
"Shovel was smaller than I expected but it’s nice for a small bag. Feels very durable and deploys very quickly"
"Super facile a ranger et à déployer"
