Petzl have announced some new gear to be released in 2016. Little information is about on them except what is on the Petzl site.
There is quite a few updates covering harnesses, crampons, helmets and other gear. We have detailed below the main items that would be used in a canyoning environment. Alas, no new updates to the Petzl Canyon Harness.
TIBLOC
A completely redesigned TIBLOC. Slightly bigger and now with a plastic cover piece to apply pressure on the carabiner
Ultra-light and very compact ascender for rope ascents, hauling systems or friction knot replacement in self-rescue situations. TIBLOC has an automatic system that presses the carabiner against the rope to start the braking action on the rope.
WILLIAM
The Petzl William has been redesigned with I beam instead of the round bar with the screw lock from the Attache 3D.
The WILLIAM asymmetrical large capacity aluminum carabiner has a pear shape that is practical for easily connecting multiple items. Its ergonomics and Keylock system facilitate manipulations, even when wearing gloves. The WILLIAM carabiner is available in two locking systems: manual SCREW-LOCK or automatic BALL-LOCK.
AM’D
The AM’D has also been redesigned with I beam instead of the round bar with the screw lock from the Attache 3D.
