I have been a ski patroller for 42 years and this is the only shovel I use. It is strong enough for hacking through avalanche be rid, but light enough to carry daily. The blade design creates smooth pit walls while the hoe feature moves a lot of snow quickly. Great shovel!

It's pretty widely recognized that Voile avalanche shovels are the best out there. My first was a gift, and more than 7 years later it's still one of my prized possessions. I've avoided the whole "hoe" mode craze, everybody wails about their shovel icing up and the transition being clunky. That is, until now! This beautt is easily the most impressive advance in backcountry safety gear in the last three years. I don't know that I'll use the hoe mode frequently, but damn if I haven't already used it to dig out my car! The ergonomics of this design are incredible. Five stars, and a hearty "bravo!" to Voile for making a superb product even better.

Avy shovels need to tick a few boxes and this one does it all. It has a full sized shovel blade, ergonomic for efficient digging, and a flat blade for digging snow pits. Great tool to use as an avalanche professional.

When looking for an avalanche shovel, the only question you should have is do I want the regular size or the mini size. I prefer the mini for ski touring and I prefer the regular size for camping trips and to keep in the back of the truck through the winter. There is no question that Voile's Hoback shovel is the best avalanche shovel on the market. Period.
