Black Diamond Deploy 3 & 7 Shovel

Product Group: Avalanche Safety Shovels | Product Added on April 1, 2007, Updated on November 8, 2007

Black Diamond's outside-the-box design ideas have created the Deploy Shovels; they are light, strong, fast and idiot-proof for times when it matters most.

Just give the handle a pull, and its trapezoidal shape slides and locks smoothly into place. No more messing with frozen buttons or handle parts buried in your pack. The Deploy shovels are made from tough 6000 series aluminum and will blast through the toughest debris. The Deploy 3 Shovel is the most compact offering in the line, with a shovel blade size of 14 x 8.5in and weighing only 20 ounces. The Deploy 7 weighs just 25 ounces and gives you a 10.3 x 15.75in blade area. Whichever size you choose, you won't find a shovel that better integrates form and function.

Suggested Retail Price of the Deploy 3: $60, Deploy 7: $66
