Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"One of the lightest extendable-handle shovels on the mountain--Traverse is over 30 inches long and weighs less than a pound and a half! High-grade, 6000 series aluminum with oversized, oval-shaped ferrule increases blade rigidity and strength. Oval-shaped tubes increase prying strength and provide an ergonomic fit for gloved hands, minimizing fatigue while digging. Streamlined design fits well on the back of your pack."

From Backcountry.com:
"The Backcountry Access Traverse EXT Shovel offers the backcountry enthusiast the lightest weight aluminum shovel on the market it's the same weight as BCA's popular Tour Shovel with a more compact shaft. However, for those users who already own a probe, the Traverse EXT shovel is sold alone. It does not accommodate a probe within the shaft, like the Tour (our item BCA0036). The Traverse EXT has a super-strong oval shaft that's easy to grip with a gloved hand. A T-grip is easy to use and can be looped through and worn without a pack with user-supplied webbing or rope. The 6000-series aluminum blade with oval ferrule is super strong, and unlike some lightweight composite blades, can power through set-up snow and ice."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The BCA Traverse EXT Shovel is the stand-alone strong & light extendable shovel. The BCA Traverse EXT Shovel Features: Super-strong oval shaft T-grip Extendable only 6061-series aluminum blade with oval ferrule Collapsed length: 23.75in/60cm Extended length: 30.5in/77.5cm Weight: 21oz/598g Does not accommodate Companion Probe"
