Mammut Alugator Pro Shovel

The automatic zipper locking system is designed for speed. When you pull the shaft out, it locks into place instantly without needing to fiddle with buttons or levers, allowing you to deploy the shovel as quickly as possible during a rescue.

Yes, the blade features a straight back specifically designed for cutting clean, precise snow profiles. This makes it a great dual-purpose tool for both rescue scenarios and backcountry snow study.

The ergonomic T-grip is engineered for efficient power transfer, which helps reduce fatigue when you are moving large amounts of dense avalanche debris. It provides a secure, stable hold even when you are wearing thick winter gloves.

The holes in the blade allow you to use the shovel as a snow anchor for building a belay or to construct an emergency rescue sled. It is a versatile feature that adds significant utility to your safety kit.

The blade is made from hardened, anodized aluminum and reinforced with stabilization ribs. This construction is built to withstand the high forces required to break through compacted avalanche debris without bending or breaking.

With a collapsed length of 61 cm, it is designed to fit comfortably inside most standard backcountry ski packs. Always check your specific pack's shovel sleeve dimensions to ensure a perfect fit.
