Due to the curve at the bottom of the shaft, there is no way to lie the handle and bottom of shaft flat. You’ll either have the handle perpendicular to the zipper at the top of the bag or the bottom of the shaft where it curves to a “J”, perpendicular to the bottom of the bag. Might be fine in bags 30L+. That aside, I and others were unable to detach the head after assembling.
Blade is a snow catcher, the scoop feature is cool but the amount of snow that sticks to the shovel is frustrating
