Overview
G2 GO2Gether's Backcountry shovel is a telescopic aluminum alloy design meant for avalanche and winter backcountry kits, expanding from a packed size up to 30 inches with an adjustable blade angle for digging or clearing snow.
This is a collapsible tool built for a pack, not a driveway crew: the pop-up button lets it snap open from a compact carry length to a working 24 to 30 inch shovel in the field. At 1.1 lbs it is light enough to strap to a bag without adding real weight, and the blade angle adjusts for digging versus clearing rather than staying a fixed scoop.
- Aluminum alloy shovel and shaft
- Expands from packed size to 30 inches
- ABS anti-slip handle grip
- Orange blade for visibility in snow
Who it's for
Suited to backcountry skiers, snowmobilers and winter hikers who want an avalanche-kit shovel that folds down small enough to carry rather than a shovel meant to sit by a front door. Less useful for anyone clearing a long driveway, where a full-size fixed-handle shovel moves more snow per stroke.
Pros and cons
- Packs down small enough for a backpack
- Pop-up button adjusts length in seconds
- Blade angle adjusts for digging or clearing
- Light at 1.1 lbs for carrying uphill
- Aluminum blade is less rugged than steel
- Not sized for large driveway clearing jobs
Performance notes
The telescopic shaft is held by a pop-up button rather than a screw collar, so length changes are a one-hand operation even with gloves on. Because the blade angle adjusts separately from the shaft length, the tool can be set flat for digging out a burial site or angled for pushing loose snow, which is the main reason backcountry shovels differ from home models. Aluminum alloy keeps the whole unit at 1.1 lbs, trading some stiffness against heavier steel blades for pack weight.
