BikeRadar verdict

4 out of 5 stars

"Handy portable trail fixer"

Sat 31 May 2008, 8:00 am UTCBy Ric McLaughlin

You’re never going to do major excavations with this but it is ideal for trail modifications and quick fixes. It works well as a ‘chopper-downer’ too.

This is the only NATO and US military-approved trail shovel around, which is nice to know. The shovel folds into itself and comes with a neat and useful storage pouch.
