Reviews overview
What do you think about that?
This is what customers from around the world say:
The wild country Revo is brilliant for experienced climbers but if you are looking for an easy and safe device to use for a beginner- I would not recommend this product. It's auto-stopping activation is unreliable, slow and the small catches can sometimes activate without warning when belaying. It is also quite heavy. For beginner climbers- I would recommend a simpler device such as the Petzl grigri or rig descender for you can relay on the auto lock everytime and you can take breaks using the assisted locking function. The revo is not bad- but I think that it is for more advanced climbers than myself. It has positives too of course! Such as the easy controlling of the rope and the extra safety features- so I totally think that for more advanced climbers, this device would be a dream! But think before buying this and test your climbing level, do you like belaying/rappelling with belay devices such as the ATC or are you more of an assisted braking kind of climber. Overall, brilliant device-but there could be improvements made for the future!
