During a recent canyoning trip, I used the Slyde Rope Adjuster to navigate some challenging descents. Its ability to reduce shock impact was immediately noticeable, especially when moving through wet and slippery conditions. Compared to similar products like the Petzl Shunt or the Petzl Connect Adjust, the Slyde’s simplicity and adaptability were impressive. It allowed me to fine-tune my system quickly and confidently.
