Klim Backcountry Shovel

Introducing Klim's Backcountry Shovel, the Backcountry Shovel by Klim is engineered for fast deployment with strong robust construction to perform in avalanche situations. In a chaotic environment where seconds matter, intuitive features allow for quick, self-locking deployment so you don’t have to fuss with small buttons. The aggressive blade is designed to efficiently cut into the snow and is sturdy enough for ice and easily switches between the digging (shovel) position and the chopping (hoe) position. More compact size also allows the Backcountry Shovel to fit in a wider range of avalanche backpacks.
