No backcountry kit is complete without a snow shovel. The Adventure Research Kicker Snow Shovel is a compact, lightweight, and affordable option that will quickly become your go-to when exploring the backcountry.

• T-grip handle, with cut-outs for reduced weight, works well with both gloves and mittens.
• Telescoping, non-rotational lock pin shaft extends quickly and packs down small.
• Aluminum blade has cut out attachment points for use as a snow anchor.
• Center-ridge blade design further reduces packed dimensions.
