Petzl Has A New Belay Device: NEOX

My gear addiction means I check Petzl every week or so, saw they have a new belay device tailored to lead belaying. Looks interesting, worried the wheel won't make it as durable as a gri gri. It's already for sale at REI, anyone given it a spin? https://www.petzl.com/US/en/Sport/Belay-Devices-And-Descenders/NEOX

My friend, if you have a gear addiction, you’ve come to the right place.

That is to say—if you’re reading about a product on a companies webpage, this place has likely long since caught wind of it and begun feverishly debating how shite it is so don’t be afraid to poke around.
