Correction, I got the BCA Companion Shovel (the red one halfway down the page) with the D handle but without the probe as shown on the website (a 6 foot probe is too short for our team requirements). It is super lightweight, especially when compared to the Chugach Pro purchased by several of our other members. The version I got also does not have an extensible handle, so it is pretty short. I had quitea few folks drooling over the weight of the Companion. Weather conditions being what they are I'm sure I'll get a chance to try it out here soon.
