Product Reviews
Excellent shovel
I bought this for its versatility to go from shoveling to being used as a hoe.

The best avalanche shovel. Period.
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.

Stout!
Not one of those flimsy lightweight things that won't dig your friend out when you need it to. This thing is a snow moving machine. Great for digging snow shelters, kitchens and study pits
