Polycarbonate Shovels: Series 3 Blade

If you're thinking this is just a plastic shovel, think again. Life-Link is the Original Polycarbonate Avalanche Shovel (U.S. patent #DES267468). All of our Polycarbonate Shovels come with a LIFE-TIME WARRANTY. You break this blade, we'll replace it…no question about it. Why would we offer this?…because we are so confident in the strength and dependability of our polycarbonate blades. Life-Link Polycarbonate shovels have been the choice of Pro-Ski Patrollers to Everest Guides since the 70's. The lifetime warranty on blades does not cover engine heat/exhaust damage.

A bent aluminum blade can ruin a shovel and a heavy shovel can ruin a day of skiing but a super light polycarbonate blade will do neither. Sold in four styles: the fixed length ultra-light 3D, extendable 3DX , or the compact 3DXS or with a D grip. There is a Life-Link Polycarbonate shovel and color for everyone.

Handles:

• Handles are made of 6000 series aluminum tubing
• Handles are detachable from blade by means of locking detents
• Shafts have rubber grip surface for positive grip surface in cold conditions
• T-Grip colors match the blade and have two holes for shoulder strap webbing
