The Reflex attachment point is designed to be capable of being put directly onto a climbing harness bridge. It fits perfectly on a double rope bridge as well as other rope or webbing bridges.
The attachment point can be removed from and installed onto the device with or without a rope installed in the device.
The attachment point is going to be sold separately so you can have multiples for different setups and if it wears from rubbing on the bridge over time you can replace it.
This allows for the entire device system to be much more compact than any other that requires a carabiner and or ring or separate swivel.
It also eliminates needing capture gate carabiners or rubber configuration aids to ensure that none of the connection points get cross-loaded or have excessive flop when unweighted.
The attachment point connection is extremely secure and takes deliberate and particular motions to attach and unattach from the device.
It takes about 5 seconds to remove the attachment point from the device.
I have been keeping mine on my bridge and I personally feel this is a brilliant design!
Unfortunately, I have seen many people spreading misinformation about this device who clearly have not even looked at the pictures in the instructions.
I've seen people say that you cannot take the attachment point on and off without uninstalling the rope or that it's too slow and cumbersome and no one will ever use it, etc.
I feel that this is a shame and a disservice to the brilliant engineers who created it and people should know just what it is and what it isn't without exposure to all the misinformation out there.
I hope people utilize this design feature and give feedback to engineers and manufacturing companies in hopes that we see more devices use direct to bridge attachments.
If interested, I wrote a more detailed description of how the removable attachment works and other observations about the Reflex in the Climber's talk-new device from ISC thread on page 9.
