SLOW PULL TESTS = slipped at 3-5kN

DROP TESTS = with a 73kg weight in a FF2, it slipped all the way to the knot and the peak force was ~7kN to ~8kN until our final drop broke it at ~11kN… at the stopper knot.

FUNCTIONS = With a wider head and a 9.0mm rope (vs the old 9.5mm) it is smoother. It can in theory be released under load but it’s not elegant.

We tested the old Petzl Adjust lanyard and lots of other adjustable lanyards in this video.
