You can easily break through an ice crust

When digging in powdery snow, the volume of the shovel is important. But in the process of digging in hard snow, as avalanche deposits usually are, the durability of the shovel also matters. The blade of the ORTOVOX SHOVEL BADGER shovel is made of hardened aluminum, which is a guarantee of high resistance and durability.

• Shovel blade reinforcements increase resistance when prying and digging.
• The high side edges of the shovel blade add strength and increase digging efficiency.
• The edge of the shovel blade is profiled, which reduces the contact area with the snow and makes it easier to break through hard snow.
• The wavy profile on the upper side of the shovel blade prevents the shoe from slipping.

Compact and very light avalanche shovel

The time you spend digging in an avalanche is usually many times longer than searching with an avalanche finder. The ORTOVOX SHOVEL BADGER avalanche shovel saves valuable grams and fulfills important prerequisites for effective digging.

• The high-wall shovel blade allows for a large amount of snow to be scooped up with each sweep.
• The hardened aluminum handle does not disappoint even when prying in hard snow.
• The blade of the shovel is ergonomically shaped so that it can be easily packed in a backpack.

Long service life and 5-year warranty

ORTOVOX provides a 5-year guarantee for avalanche equipment. Among the long-term and satisfied users of avalanche equipment is, for example, the Mountain Rescue Service of the Slovak Republic. If you need spare parts or repairs, ORTOVOX provides them long after the end of the five-year warranty.
