Arva Access TS Shovel

Arva's avalanche gear is just becoming known in the US, but it's been big in Europe for a while, and has a reputation for quality. Witness the Arva Access TS Shovel, Arva's mid-weight, all-round touring shovel that packs strength and shoveling efficiency into its 530 grams. A telescoping, oval aluminum shaft slots into a 25 x 25 cm blade that's big enough to move snow efficiently without tiring the rescuer too quickly.
