Petz Zillon now in store!

[Barry_Skyland]

We have the Zillon in stock and ready to go on next day delivery.

 

We are only holding the 4m at the moment as we feel this is the right length for a lanyard.

 

If you want a smaller or longer size please email us and we will put it on our next order with Lyon, we recieve orders daily from them so there wont be a long delay.

Will it be possible to use your own rope Barry?

Hi Tommy

 

If you use a different rope it will not meet conformity.

 

If you use a Petzl Zillon rope you will meet conformity.

 

The device is tested as a whole not individually, the rope is approx 13mm.

 

It would be upto you if you put your own rope into it but it's not recommended, the Zillon is the same as the Grillon in terms of conformity.

Used mine for the first time today. Very smooth. Releases under load nicely and sits nice and close on the harness. I'm using it in a dmm sentinel carabiner and it found its way to the narrow bottom and jammed in a bit, so would recommend a rubber stop or a carabiner that fits all the way round. I think the 13mm rope is fine in it.

[Barry_Skyland]

Do you think an oval would suit it better?

So how much is a new rope? Seems a scam imo, why not sell it like the zigzag ie no rope or the art positioner?

Interesting. I would have thought that it would've been a thinner rope than 13mm. I know the Zig zag worked better thinner. I'll have to have a look at one in the flesh but it would have to be brilliant to replace my current lanyard!

Dont think I will bother at that price! Art positioner is half the price.

The zigzag works better on a smaller diameter when self tending, this won't apply to the zillion. Replacement rope is around £35 depending in the length.

What are the advantages over a short VT tended by a pulley?
