anyone had a zigzag crack here?

[Greenworx Ryan]

Friend of mine has got the zigzag mk3, had it a month and this has appeared anyone else had any probs, I myself had the zig zag mk2 that cracked returned it back on a hitch climber.

No.......but my Zillion has developed I hairline crack..

I was talking to the Petzl rep at the apf and she said they know how we treat our gear better than we do our selves and these are tested beyond belief.maybe by the time the zig zag mk20 comes out they might have it right eh. It's not good when crackes are appearing when it hasn't even took a shock load, Think it would probably fall to pieces it it did.

Ha ha, I guess we'll be waiting for the mk4 then. I think the zigzag is pretty good evidence that for all their brilliant stuff, Petzl don't have a clue about trees...

They do make nice paper weights though.

Is it not a casting Mark.

I will have a look at my mk 3 in the morning and let you know.

[Stubby]

It looks like a casting mark , the kind you get when the mold is not fully up to temp and you get a " cold weld " line as the material chills off befor its filled the mold .

[madbopper]

My mk3 looks like that.
