Ortovox Orange Avalanche Shovel



Ortovox Orange shovel
This shovel’s blade is small. If you're using a pack with an external shovel blade carrying system, make sure the dimensions of your shovel's blade are compatible. In my case, I bought a Dakine Heli pack and an Ortovox Orange shovel but the shovel blade slops around in the external pocket even when it's strapped as tight as possible. It seems possible that the blade would come free in a violent fall or if it got hooked to something. Dakine, and other brands I am assuming, make their packs to fit Dakine brand shovels, or other shovels with similar dimensions.

If looking for a shovel to throw in the car or just use here in there this isn't a bad choice. I wouldn't use it for my avie shovel though. The blade is a little small and it is pretty light weight. I Have a Black Diamond deploy and love it.
