Petzl Zigzag

[Barry_Skyland]

The new ZIgzag is on its way - it is bigger than the original Zigzag and too be honest we prefer the original as it is more compact - so we are letting you know if you want one of the originals we have limited stock left - once they are gone, they are gone! Might keep one for myself if I ever go back to it....?

 

Original ZigzagNEW - Zigzag PlusThe pictures are not too scale.

Are the links beefed up yet again over the Mk.3?

Do you know if the original is now rated for srt with the addition of the chicane?

We only had a quick look at a demo unit last year so I couldn't say ATM. We should be getting some zigzags in next week so we can compare them. TBH, I dont think there has been one issue with the mk3 links at all.

That was a question we put to the Petzl rep last year but I forgot to follow it up. I would have to check out the instructions for the original but I think it does mention single rope use and the addition of a friction device, if that is the case then I dont see why not.

Thank you, I fancy the zz on srt but I've currently got a mk2 that I've had since 2013 and although I trust it in ddrt, I'm aware of the potential for cracked links and don't fancy pushing it on srt and to be honest...I don't really fact the 2019 zz, not keen on the size

Okay we have an answer - They have confirmed that the outgoing ZIGZAG (ie D22A) is compatible with the CHICANE as well as both new 2019 ZIGZAGs. They have said that the configuration is not certified by a notified body (ie they didn't send it off to be certified along with the new products but that they have put the D22A through all the same in house testing with a CHICANE as they have with the new ZIGZAGs and are happy that it passed all the testing. 

I have added a photo to show the size difference - note the new one is the Zigzag to have a swivel you need to buy the Zigzag Plus which is not yet in stock.
