Each avalanche shovel comes with its own unique size, weight, grip, and special features (such as air-guitar-ability). To help distill this information, we&#8217;re going to break it all down to help you decide which is the right avalanche shovel for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"x-resp-embed x-is-video x-is-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Which type of Avalanche Shovel is right for you?\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XLmC5SQbBcM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s The Scoop?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that there are a few crossovers in features between each line of Voile shovels. All of our shovels feature pinholes on the blade for carabiners or rope, in case you need to fashion a rescue sled while out in the backcountry. In addition, all of our shovels feature a standard and a mini version, as well as two handle options (with the exception of the XLM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"540\" data-id=\"6671\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/T-Handle.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/T-Handle.jpeg 540w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/T-Handle-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/T-Handle-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/T-Handle-100x100.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/T-Handle-45x45.jpeg 45w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><figcaption>&#8220;T&#8221; Handle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"540\" data-id=\"6672\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/D-Handle.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/D-Handle.jpeg 540w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/D-Handle-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/D-Handle-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/D-Handle-100x100.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/D-Handle-45x45.jpeg 45w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><figcaption>&#8220;D&#8221; Handle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">All Voile shovel handles are interchangeable and can be fitted to any of our blades.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The &#8220;T&#8221; Handle<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This handle features the easily stowed &#8220;T&#8221; shaped grip commonly seen on most avalanche shovels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The &#8220;D&#8221; Handle<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This handle features an ergonomic grip to help increase leverage, a longer shaft, and it can easily be gripped by those using mittens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s break down each model in our lineup and find out which one is right for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hoback<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Press the pin, twist the handle, Voila (or should we say Voile).

Along with that, the blade on the Hoback is flat giving you a nice surface for snow study while out in the field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shovels with a Hoe mode have become widely popular in the avalanche safety game in recent years. This is for the benefit of moving snow at a faster rate during any avalanche situation.
