Petzl Reverso 3

Ultra light, multi-purpose belay/rappel device, with range of friction adapted to different rope.

This multi-purpose belay/rappel device is lightweight and easy to use. The asymmetric V-shaped grooved friction channels regulate the amount of braking friction on the rope according to its diameter and condition.

Ultra-light design:
- minimalist construction
- hot-forged aluminum
- 72 g

A single device for all rope types:
- effective braking on half and twin ropes = 7,5 mm
- effective braking on single ropes = 8,9 mm
- can belay the leader, one or two seconding climbers and can be used for rappelling
- independent and simultaneous belaying of one or two seconding climbers in Reverso mode
- quick change-overs from Reverso mode to belaying the leader when climbing multi-pitch routes

V-shaped friction channels:
- increased friction on thin ropes
- friction is adapted for larger diameter ropes
- increased holding power in Reverso mode

Asymmetrically grooved sidewalls:
- increased braking power during a leader or top rope fall or while rappelling
- rope smoothly slides through device when taking up slack

Carabiner hole to release device when loaded in Reverso mode: allows the loaded device in Reverso mode to be easily and gradually released with only a carabiner

Rope friendly:
- will not kink the ropes regardless of the mode used
- separates the two strands of rope when belaying and rappelling

Intuitive:
- Reverso mode attachment point is easy to identify
- keeper cable keeps the device from moving up the rope when belaying and reduces chances of losing the device
- usage diagrams (standard belay and Reverso modes) engraved on device.
