BCA shovels lie flat in your pack with no protruding ferrule or "neck," leaving more room for other backcountry gear. All BCA extendable shovels are designed to meet the UIAA standard for avalanche rescue shovels.
With BCA's flat "stomp edge" on the blade, you can penetrate just about anything by adding body weight.
BCA's latest Dozer shovels come with ovo-concave shafts and low-profile, easily compressed blades. The blade's front third provides a flat area that ensures clean walls for snowpits when conducting stability assessments.
The Dozer 2D is BCA's mid-sized shovel and features a D-grip handle for more control and comfort, especially for those wearing mittens.
Auto-engaging spring pins at the blade/shaft connection make for faster, hands-free assembly/deployment.
