Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Ryan ★★★★★

Took this out on a week-long tour and the compact case slid into my pack without adding bulk. Having the shovel, probe and snow study tools all in one lightweight setup made checking stability way quicker each morning.

Ruby C. ★★★★★

Everything for a snowpack test actually fits in one compact case, which I didn't expect for the price. The shovel and probe pack down small enough to disappear in my daypack until I need them.

Timothy ★★★★★

Took this out for a quick pit check and the whole kit clips onto my pack without adding noticeable bulk. The probe and shovel fit snugly in the compact case, so nothing rattles around on the hike up.
