Ortovox Pro Light Avalanche Shovel

<p>There are ultra-light shovels and there are sturdy, solid shovels and now there is the perfect combination of both with the Ortovox Pro Light avalanche shovel! At an absolutely low weight of only 440 grams, it is definitely one of the lightest and, with its compact pack size, will fit in even the smallest ski touring backpack.&nbsp;</p><p>But that’s nothing too unusual yet. What’s really brilliant is that this shovel works just as well as its more massive counterparts. The reason for this is the high sidewalls and the pronounced centre bar which make the shovel blade very stiff despite the recesses. And thanks to the recesses, the bucket can be used to build a rescue sled and as a snow anchor – a real innovation!</p>
