The Dozer IT-UL (ultralight) is BCA's lightest shovel, for the weight-conscious crowd. Cored-out blade and thinner-walled 7075 aluminum make this an ultralight digging machine.
All of BCA's one Dozer shovels feature ovo-concave shafts and low-profile, "stompable" blades. The front third of the shovel blade offers a smooth surface for clean snowpit walls during snow stability tests. With BCA's flat "stomp edge" on the blade, you can penetrate just about anything by adding body weight. Auto-engaging spring pins at the blade/shaft connection make for faster, hands-free assembly/deployment. BCA shovels lie flat in your pack with no protruding ferrule or "neck," leaving more room for other backcountry gear. All BCA extendable shovels are designed to meet the UIAA standard for avalanche rescue shovels.

I bought this for the haute route last Spring and it was just the job. Thankfully we didnt need to use it that much and when you carry somthign like this more than you use it, weight is crucial. I lhave always liked the innovative way in which BCA approaches its design.
