The Mini is the most compact shovel Voile offers and stores conveniently in your backcountry pack. Bigger shovels often hog up space inside your pack or don’t even fit in a pack's external shovel pocket at all. The Mini, with its telescoping handle for extended reach and leverage, collapses into a tight little package, 23” tall and 24oz. Why choose a plastic shovel when you can get the strength of metal in the Mini? [Available in red only.]
Bottom Line: If you’re a MINImalist who prefers touring with a smaller pack (and smaller everything!), this is the shovel for you.

Untitled ReviewThe aluminum blade works nicely for chopping out large sections of frozen snow for a tent wall. The model I have has a snow saw inside as well. Nice piece of equipment.
