    I'm using a Sequoia harness with 2 bridges and I want to fit a connection ring on each one. The bridge that came on the harness is a size 'M' (45cm), about 10 or 11mm thick so I just added another one the same to match it as it seemed fine when I climbed on it. Petzl connection rings come in size S (28mm internal diameter) or L (46mm internal diameter), but I can't find it stated anywhere which size ring would be best to use on those bridges. By my reckoning the small ring ought to be big enough to accomodate the thickness of the bridge itself plus the thickness of a karabiner with a few mm to spare, so is that the one to go for? Or am I missing other potential uses for which I'd need the extra internal diameter of the bigger ring(s)?

    Cheers, just watched a video of it in use and it looks so smooth I'm tempted to hold off on buying a Zigzag and try climbing with this first instead.

    Hi all, I'm a complete beginner trying to get into arborism and have recently done the climbing and aerial rescue course, for which I used borrowed climbing kit. I'm now in the process of buying my own climbing kit so that I can get as much practice in as possible before doing the aerial chainsaw course. With the borrowed kit, in terms of friction devices I had a Zigzag Plus on one system and just a prusik knot on the other. I really liked the Zigzag and ideally would buy two so I could have one on each rope, but I can't afford that at the mo so I'm wondering what I could use on my 2nd rope as an alternative to that or just a prusik. I actually got on ok with the prusik but is there anything else I could use instead that's relatively inexpensive (i.e. £100 or less) but would be nicer to climb on/save energy etc?
