ISC Reflex Mechanical Hitch
The ISC REFLEX offers smooth, low-friction ascent and easy transitions. The Reflex, delivers simplicity, versatility, and control for SRS and MRS tree climbing.
The REFLEX is mid-line attachable with friction links for precise friction control with a gradual release. The body features a safety-lock swing-frame and L-shaped links, allowing the rope to be inserted into the body and wound around and into each link. The top link includes a latch to keep the rope captive during your climb.
Whether used in MRS or SRS, the links of the REFLEX enable consistent friction control, without the need of additional frictional hardware. This means that the REFLEX can be used for SRT, without the need of a Wrench & Tether! This is ideal for climbers who want to keep their system simple and compact and enables easy slack payout. For those who prefer to use the REFLEX with an additional APEX and FLEX Tether, the REFLEX has attachment apertures which enable versatile set-up options, as well as quick and easy transitions between set ups.
The 200kg rated rescue load enables climbers to perform rescues, without needing to build in additional friction. If desired, an APEX & FLEX Tether can be added, to offer additional friction for greater ease of control.
CE Certified to EN 12841, on EN 1891-A ø11-13mm Rope .
The links of the REFLEX adjust to provide consistent friction across the rope range, with no need to adjust settings. Removeable & Replaceable Swivel The Swivel-eye can be removed from the device, by way a sequence of deliberate actions. This enables quick disconnection without having to disassemble the climbing system, or bridge set up. Ideal for lunchbreaks, or when nipping to the truck to get more gear.
The removeable swivel also allows more limb-passing options and means that the Swivel-eye can easily be replaced when it becomes worn. The Swivel-eye is shaped to accommodate two karabiners. Alternatively, up to two bridge ropes can be threaded directly through the eye in order to achieve a compact system.
