Your use of a belay jacket and what you find useful is up to you and your environment.<br /><br />I was very impressed obviously with the materials and fabrics used in that Westcomb. I haven't seen one outside the show however and could easily change my mind when I do. Till them I thought the thing very innovative.<br /><br />But no question it was NOT specifically designed to be a belay jacket. My thought was it might well make a good one anyway.Danehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300760603627210620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940163880772720830.post-17414210358230160352013-03-03T05:46:46.422-08:002013-03-03T05:46:46.422-08:00No 2nd slider on zipper of that Westcomb jacket......No 2nd slider on zipper of that Westcomb jacket...

Just dbl click them to enlarge. Pretty exciting actually as I really like the Rebel Carbon. Only the crampon attachment I found lacking. Fixed now.

The sponsored climber who had them told me, that he didn't like them that much, since ice and snow were hard to "clean" from the screw because of the aluminum. Let's hope Petzl managed to resolve that issue. <br /><br />Not many impressive pieces of clothing this year Dane?Dersunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940163880772720830.post-82603048245068753962013-02-04T00:59:36.410-08:002013-02-04T00:59:36.410-08:00The steel tip alu screws from petzl are amazing.

Not sure how light they are, but my guess is at least half the weight of a all steel ice screw. And twice as easy to place! I also saw the e-climb screw which I think is kind of the original and already (?) available on the market. I think e-climb with a great product as this deserves more attention.PÅ TUR MED OLSENhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375495068036475052noreply@blogger.com
