BCA Dozer 2H-S

Hoe mode allows you to reconfigure the blade perpendicular to the shaft, which is significantly more efficient for moving large volumes of snow during a rescue or when building a snow shelter. It essentially turns your shovel into a hoe, letting you pull snow toward you rather than just pushing it.

The oval-concave shape is engineered to provide superior structural rigidity compared to a standard round shaft. This geometry resists bending under heavy loads and provides a more secure, ergonomic grip, which is critical when you are wearing thick gloves or mittens.

Yes, the 23 cm saw is integrated directly into the shaft, making it easily accessible for cutting snow blocks for wind walls or snow pits. While it isn't a replacement for a dedicated, full-length saw for complex snow study, it is a highly effective tool for standard backcountry safety tasks.

Yes, the BCA Dozer 2H-S is certified to the UIAA 156 standard for avalanche shovels. This ensures the tool has been rigorously tested for strength and reliability in the demanding conditions of an avalanche rescue.

With its telescoping shaft, the shovel collapses down to 46 cm. This compact size allows it to fit easily into most standard backcountry packs without taking up excessive space.
