One hand operation with superior handling characteristics
4.1-Tactical is intuitive and easy to operate in stressful situations.
The index finger in conjunction with the middle finger controls the descent.
Squeeze the handle to go, squeeze harder to go faster and slow down by letting the handle return. Hard stops are made by letting go.
By adjusting the friction mode to match the user's weight, the operator can maintain consistent handling throughout the entire weight range. This removes the need to manually control the rope on the brake side, ensuring a smooth and safe descent in any situation.
The brake can easily be moved up and down the rope for rapid positioning.
With a weight of only 650g (with 20m rope) the system gives the operator better handling characteristic than most rappel systems weighing 5x more.
