Comments about Black Diamond Transfer 3 Shovel:
This shovel is perfect if you want to use it for more than just that one emergency in the backcountry. I was very satisfied with how well it dug out my car, and wasn't worried about the weight in caryrying it up the mountain. Even when the handle is fully extended this is a solid well built mover of snow.

Comments about Black Diamond Transfer 3 Shovel:
Not too bad, but I wish it collapsed into a smaller size for stowing. There are others that get smaller, but for the price, it's a good beginners shovel.

Comments about Black Diamond Transfer 3 Shovel:
Good lightweight shovel for snowcamping, car emergencies etc. Unfortunately when digging a pit in some hard sierra cement I managed to bend the handle where it meets the blade. Not confidence inspiring for avalanche rescue work.
I returned this shovel as I just wasn't impressed. I have bought a different shovel, one of the tried and true ones out there, a little heavier but I think it's well worth it.
Not a bad shovel just be aware of it's best uses.

Comments about Black Diamond Transfer 3 Shovel:
This shovel is light and compact, but I found that it does not work well for doing snowpack stability assessments in a snowpit. It is too small and the curvature of the blade prohibits an effective shear or compression test.

Comments about Black Diamond Transfer 3 Shovel:
Bought this as a "just in case" for casual snowshoeing. Ended up using it to save my bacon when my truck got stuck. This thing worked great and saved the day. Breaks down easily into my daypack but was easy to deploy and use.
