The latest iteration of CAMP’s lightweight polycarbonate blade shovel comes in at just under a pound, and is the lightest avalanche shovel with a handle on the market. There are aluminum blade shovels available for a few ounces more, so if Bob were entering seriously avalanche-prone areas or doing lots of digging he might consider switching to one of those, but for milder conditions and for the ultimate in weight savings, the Camp shovel is a fine weight-saving choice. Weight: 15.9 oz. MSRP: $27.50
