The listing, in full

  • Material Schaufelblatt: Aluminium
  • Spezifische Aktivität: Skitour, Hochtour, Freeride, Schneeschuhwandern

Aluminium, and four activities.

What that leaves

Blade area. Shaft. Handle. Packed length. Detachable blade. Weight.

Six of the seven lines this site compares, on a shovel at 79.99 € from a maker who also sells the transceiver and the airbag pack on this site — both of which publish about as little.

The colour

Neon orange. Not a specification, and on this shelf it is worth more than one: the MFH shovel two places down cannot be ordered in a chosen colour at all, and a rescue tool that is dropped has to be seen.

What this page stops short of

That it works, or that it does not. A shovel digs; it does not make anything safe. This one is from a maker with a long record in the field, and its listing publishes two lines.

The price across five stores

79.99 in Germany. 97.21 in Spain. 98.99 in France. 100.16 in Italy. 131.60 in the United States. Britain lists a different reference and quoted nothing.

Availability

One check, 80 € at the bottom and 100 € at the top, across the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon shops.

Outside the euro, the American Amazon shop sells it in its own currency, and the range above is kept clear of that.

On the shelf, off the market: the British Amazon shop carries the reference with no seller attached to it.
