We’ve had an original Petzl Vertigo<\/a> here at Unsponsored HQ for a few years and have really liked it’s performance. Petzl have been on the case and have updated the Vertigo using i-beam technology. Just like the original the Petzl Vertigo<\/a> has been primarily designed for ease of clipping in with the added bonus of having a locking key gate. The new construction has shaved off 2 grams.<\/p>\n

\"Petzl<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Vertigo wire’s<\/a> key component is the wire lock fastener. 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. In fact I find that I am able to open the carabiner just as easily as any non-locking carabiner I have owned.<\/p>\n

The orange part shown in the images has been updated with a much lower profile. The old one handled well and this new version works just as well. I can’t honestly say it’s any better.<\/p>\n

\"Petzl<\/p>\n

The Vertigo<\/a> has a nice wide gate and is easy to open even with cold hands or whilst wearing gloves.<\/p>\n

The shape of the carabiner not only allows for a nice wide gate opening it also sits really well in the hand and is super easy to operate one handed. As it has been designed for via-ferrata use you’d expect this to be the case.<\/p>\n

The lower part of the carabiner has also been updated which allows a tape to sit far more comfortably. This can be seen in the two comparison<\/p>\n
