<!--ProdInc[300301866]/Mall:[backcountry_US]-->The engineers over at Petzl must never be satisfied, because while the Grigri is already a best-seller, and perhaps the most popular assisted braking belay device on the market, the Grigri + Belay Device offers a smoother, safer performance than its predecessors. Petzl promises your rope?as long as it isn''t skinnier than 8.9mm?will slide through the device so smoothly that you won''t have to place your thumb over the brake in order to dish out slack, so you can belay with this device in the same way that you would a standard tube device. Petzl integrated an anti-panic locking system that will lock the Grigi + up when overzealous beginners?or advanced climbers for that matter?pull down on the brake''s handle too hard. <h3>Details</h3> Best-selling belay device revamped for a smoother, safer feel Assisted brake handle updated with anti-panic locking system Applies same belay method as standard belay device Switch on side optimizes use for either top rope or lead belay Item #PTZ005X <h3>Tech Specs</h3> Material : [side plates] aluminum [friction plate, wear plate] stainless steel [handle] nylon Type : assisted brake Rope Diameter : 8.5 - 11mm Claimed Weight : 7.1oz Manufacturer Warranty : 3 years
