Product Details
Product Details
The BCA Dozer is the most popular size avalanche shovel by BCA, engineered for effective performance in snow conditions. It features an ovo-concave shaft and a low-profile, stompable blade designed to create clean snowpit walls during stability tests. The shovel’s flat stomp edge allows users to penetrate snow with ease by applying body weight.
Incorporating auto-engaging spring pins at the blade/shaft connection, this shovel ensures faster, hands-free assembly and deployment. It is designed to lie flat in your pack due to the absence of a protruding ferrule, maximising space for additional backcountry gear. All BCA extendable shovels are compliant with the UIAA standard for avalanche rescue shovels.
