Ultrakevyt retkilapio

Weighed almost nothing in my pack, which is exactly what I wanted for a thru-hike where every ounce matters. The aluminum is stiff enough that digging a cathole through rooted soil didn't bend it at all.

The aircraft-grade aluminum feels genuinely solid in hand, but it’s still light enough that I forget it’s in my pack. Digging through rocky soil on last weekend’s trip was shockingly easy with the patented shape.

Third one I've owned and this is the only one that hasn't bent on hard packed ground. The aircraft grade aluminum feels genuinely solid in hand, not flimsy like the others. Digs through roots and rocky soil without complaint, and it's light enough that I forget it's in my pack.
