"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""The Plume Alu is the kind of shovel I want in my pack when every gram matters but I still need durability. It’s lightweight at under 400g, but the aluminum blade and handle hold up to hard-packed snow. The pin lock system is super fast to set up, and the compact size makes it easy to stash."" The ARVA Plume Alu shovel is designed for backcountry travelers who demand efficiency and portability without compromising strength. Built with a 1. 5mm anodized aluminum blade and handle, it provides reliable durability while weighing in at just 390 grams—perfect for ski touring and splitboarding when every ounce counts. Quick deployment is critical in avalanche terrain, and the Plume Alu is equipped with ARVA’s pin lock system for fast and secure assembly. The ergonomic T-shaped handle delivers a confident grip, while the compact 64cm total length and balanced 24 x 24cm blade dimensions offer efficient snow-moving power in a streamlined design. Lightweight, packable, and reliable, it’s an essential tool for safety in the mountains."
