An extra large shovel for serious and professional use, the Black Diamond Evac features a unique handle that can be set up in two configurations for digging and for use as mattock to draw snow out of a snow hole. The large blade moves lots of snow quickly, and a flat-bottom profile helps you get a good clean face on your pit wall pus the edge you step on is horizontal so your boot is less likely to slip off. An extendable shaft and large D handle increase comfort for long days in the field involving multiple pits, and speed up digging time during an emergency.
- Compact telescoping shaft and durable anodized blade.
- Shovel converts easily into mattock mode from the same attachment point for snow removal and excavation.
- Compact D-handle with comfortable dual-density grip.
Two sizes are available:
The Evac 7 is a large snow shovel by any standards and ideal for anyone anticipating digging snow holes and bilding snow walls and igloos as part of a trip.
The Evac 9 has an even longer handle and bigger blade and is intended mainly for professional use.
This is the Evac 9.
