Description

Alugator Light Shovel

The Alugator Light Shovel by Mammut is the perfect choice for backcountry travelers who value weight savings without compromising on performance. This shovel is specifically designed to be the lightest option in Mammut's lineup, ensuring you can shave every ounce from your gear without sacrificing reliability.

The aluminum blade is both sharp and durable. It is engineered to be tilt-proof and strong, allowing you to dig through tough snow with ease. The blade also features attachment holes that can be used to construct a snow anchor or rescue sled, providing you with even more versatility in the backcountry.

One of the standout features of the Alugator Light Shovel is its straight back, which makes it perfect for shaving snow walls to get an accurate snow profile. This ensures you have valuable information about the stability and conditions of the snowpack.

The telescoping handle of the shovel is both convenient and efficient. It allows you to quickly and easily adjust the length to optimize your digging efficiency based on the snow conditions. When not in use, the handle collapses into a compact package that can easily fit in a small daypack, ensuring it won't take up unnecessary space.
