Black Diamond Deploy 3 avalanche shovel

The Black Diamond Deploy 3 avalanche shovel is built for backcountry travelers and first responders. This shovel deploys instantaneously for emergency situations (hence the name).

Utilizing a trapezoidal, curved-shaft design, ensures rotation-free, fast activation with the squeeze of a spring pin.

For integrated storage the Deploy 3 shaft slides into the metal blade, which is made of exceptionally strong aluminum.

The ergonomic handle feels like a D-grip but packs like a T-grip.
