Avalanche shovels🧹 - MTBIKER.shop

Avalanche shovels are an essential component of an avalanche safety kit, used for digging out a person buried in snow during an avalanche. Here's a detailed description of avalanche shovels:

Compact design: Avalanche shovels are designed to be compact and lightweight for easy portability in a backpack. They usually consist of a collapsible or telescoping shaft and a removable blade.
Material: Shovel blades are commonly made of aluminium or other lightweight and durable materials. Aluminium is preferred for its strength-to-weight ratio.
Blade design: Shovel blades have a flat, concave design to efficiently move and throw snow. Some blades may also feature serrated edges or reinforced construction for cutting through dense or icy snow.
Handle grip: The handle of the shovel typically has an ergonomic grip to provide comfort and control during use. The grip is designed to be usable even with gloved hands.

Avalanche shovels are an indispensable part of the three essential tools for avalanche rescue – beacon, probe, and shovel. It's crucial for individuals heading into avalanche terrain to practice using their shovel, be familiar with its features, and understand proper digging techniques for effective and efficient rescue efforts.

If you are not sure about the size, or if the sizes are different than you would expect, there is an option to order multiple sizes to a brick-and-mortar store, try them on there, and take the one that fits. The advantage is that you receive a notification about it, and therefore they have exactly what you chose. The disadvantage is that you have to make the trip for it, but that cannot be avoided, so OK.

You can buy everything in one place

Communication with the store is very good, and it is also in a quite good location in Banská Bystrica. The goods I ordered were in the central warehouse, and in the afternoon they were already prepared for me at the store. The opening hours are an advantage. So you can still manage to pick up your order even after work. Great for me. Overall, a wide range of goods, there is plenty to choose from.

I am extremely satisfied and recommend this store. The delivery speed is super.

Fast transaction.

I generally like this store very much (in my opinion, the best store in Slovakia), but I would have one suggestion for improvement regarding communication (hence only three stars in this category). Prioritizing emails over phone calls, in my opinion, costs much more time – both for clients and the store's staff. Of course, I am aware that often email is faster, for example, by sending a photo of the component being addressed, or a more detailed breakdown of the problem, but in the vast majority of cases, a call is a faster form of communication.
