Best DRT device available in my opnion
I’m a new climber and I love the zigzag! Easy to use (for me that saying something as I only have 1 hand (ied in Iraq). It’s small, robust, extremely smooth and with the chicane does DRT and srt. It excels in DRT, which is my preference whenever possible. I’ve used it srt, but prefer to use an srt specific device if available. I run mine on 11.8mm adrenaline and it runs great! Not being mid line attachable isn’t as convenient but it’s dang near bomb proof! Trust my life to Petzl 100%

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Impressive Quality — Built to Last
Truly impressed with this device. The quality is top-notch with no shortcuts taken anywhere. Every part feels durable, solid, and made to last. I use it multiple times a day for tree work and it has given me zero issues. The performance is smooth, reliable, and consistent every time. This is a tool you can depend on — highly recommend.

Nearly perfect device.
I’ve purchased a few of these things to keep on different rope setups. After a few years of using the Rope Runner Pro I went back to the Zig Zag and doubt I’ll ever switch devices again. These things are the smoothest devices on the market and the fact that there is a connection point to receive the return end of rope while using DRT (90% of my climbing) makes the device nearly tend itself while ascending. This feature alone sets it above the competition. While midline attachable devices are handy, I haven’t found that feature to outweigh the benefits I get from the Zig Zag. My Zig Zags stay on my ropes for the most part and just get stashed into my rope bag at the end of every flaking.

I love the quality and ease of use.
Make sure you thread the rope through correctly. Use good, certified climbing rope. Do not use the cheap Chinese rope for climbing. Your life depends on it. It may not have the proper qualities to use these devices safely. A Zigzag Plus along with a good rope is a great experience. I like to use bifrost; but many professional ropes Made in USA are suitable for use with this device. The EU also makes good ropes.
