Not the length Backcountry.com claims

This may be a good shovel for all I know, but I was looking for a 40 inch shovel and this one is only 31.5 inches fully extended. Check Backcountryaccess.com for the correct stats on this product.
When I asked Backcountry.com to pay for the return, they graciously did so, but also told me that the assembled length as described "30-40.5in (71-103cm)" is a range that covers the 31.5 inches I measured. You've been warned.

It's ugly as sin, warm as hell, and doesn't stink at all to high heaven. I wore it as a base layer and with an uninsulated hard shell was all I needed while playing hard in under freezing temperatures. I thought it was pretty comfortable and the sleeve thumb hole is for me a non issue because if I need this baselayer, I need gloves too. It does suppress even my odor, though not as well as silver impregnated material does. If money wasn't an object I'd probably go for something higher end, but by buying this I save enough to pay for gas to go skiing again. Nice job, Backcountry.

These are excellent, tough bindings. But be warned, the early production had a red or orange lever on the toe piece. Those not only will regularly pop open on you at awkward place while touring leaving you frustrated and potentially in a dangerous position, but currently Dynafit is charging to fix the problem ($35). If you buy one, make sure that the lever is yellow.
