    Comments about Backcountry Access Snow Study Kit:

    This is a useful basic backcountry snow kit with some essential tools to aid in characterizing snow and your terrain. Both the kit cover and the tools seem to have durable construction.

    One con, whichi could easily be corrected by the manufacturer is that the kit is too small for a typical aiare or all-weather notebook.

    • Was this a gift?:
    • No

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
