mark's Review of Edelrid Mega Jul Sport Belay Device

I really wanted to like this device. I even bought two of them. I purchased this because it is an active locking device and because it allows for two ropes and you can rappel with it. It is both of those things but the belay performance is dismal. It wants to catch as you are paying out slack for clips and wants to catch as you are lowering your partner. So, although it does an adequate job of being an active belay device and also allowing you to rappel it is just not worth it.
Pros:
  • allows rappels and is an active lock belay
Cons:
  • Too hurkey jurkey on the rappel and lowering
Best Used for:
  • not sure what.
Would Recommend: No
