Ortovox shovel - Kodiak

Tough mountaineering shovel with unique clearing function and practical D-grip!

The KODIAK shovel boasts the largest shovelling volume (3.1 litres) in the Ortovox product line, so it can safely be called the fastest of the bunch.

The blade is also extremely rigid (AL 6061 T6 is the perfect material for shovels), yet this tool is easy to pack. It's cutting edge is sharpened and its upper edge is equipped with non-slip ridges.

The shaft is oval (for greater rigidity) and has a telescopic, non-slip rubberised surface. The D-grip is considered the most ergonomic grip and aids powerful shoveling of snow. It's clearing function is truly unique.

The frictional connection between the shaft and blade is virtually indestructible, saving critical seconds when used to save your companion's life.
