HI Team.
Happy saturday.
I need a new probe and shovel.
I like the Terrawest and as its all aluminium thats good. But the shovel is 2l. Some say 3 is better but not sure how that will fit in my pack? (I'm 5'2 so have a smaller touring backpack). I don't want to be unsafe for my group, I want to be the safest possible but whilst being able to ski comfortable and safely too!

Terrawest Core Light Shovel Composition:
Manufactured with modern production methods and extremely strong but lightweight materials, this shovel only weighs just 475 g. For the blade of the shovel, Terrawest used a high-end heat treated 5052 Aluminium that offers a weight-to-strength ratio and has non slip grooves to stop you from slipping when digging. For the Telescopic Stem, a 6061 Aluminium, this allows you to quickly make adjustments
Also PROBES! Some reviews say 240cm are not sufficient. But that is you need a 320cm it is unlikely you will be able to rescure successfully at this depth!
