The Petzl Vertigo has been primarily designed for ease of clipping in with the added bonus of having a locking key gate. This makes it ideal for Via Ferrata and kayaking applications where you need the safety of a locked gate yet want to open and secure it quickly.

The gate is opened by pulling the sprung barrel down with your fingers, so its easy and fast but much safer than a snap gate. The Vertigo has a nice wide gate and is easy to open even with cold hands.
