The Dozer 1T combines minimal weight with maximum durability for backcountry enthusiasts. Its innovative ovo-concave shaft—featuring concave curves on both sides—delivers exceptional strength without the bulk, while preventing breakage during prying operations. The low-profile stompable blade and hollowed handle keep pack weight minimal. Enhanced grip geometry reduces hand fatigue and slippage during extended use. Built on the legacy of BCA's acclaimed D-2 EXT design, this shovel meets UIAA avalanche rescue standards, making it the ideal choice for weight-conscious skiers and mountaineers who refuse to compromise on performance.
