DescriptionThe MSR Responder Snow Shovel combines strength, aggressive performance and efficiency with an ultra-compact, packable blade for backcountry touring, rescues and snow science.
Features
- Smaller blade features a reduced scooping geometry and neckless design for stashing easily in a backcountry or sidecountry pack; neckless design adds durability
- Blade has a flat back for shaving smooth snow pit walls during snow science
- Blade's serrated leading edge and exceptional durability withstand cement-like avalanche debris
- Shovel's straight geometry excels in paddling snow quickly during a burial rescue, making this shovel the right choice for your rescue kit
- 6061-T6 high-strength, hard-anodized aluminum blade, with traditional flat chopping face for stable strike and a serrated edge to break up snow and ice
- 2-section, non-rotational telescoping shaft and fast lock-pin provide rapid, hassle-free deployment
- Ergonomic T-handle is designed to offer the same comfort and control as a D-handle, in a compact, low-profile form that works with all glove types
- Shaft's upper section fits equally well into the blade, allowing you to leave the lower section behind if you want to save weight
