New device from ISC

One thing I've noticed in some online videos, and in use, is that the Reflex appears to maybe have a "sidedness".

The ISC manual shows left handed use of the Reflex links. This would be with the Red side of the Swing Frame towards the user.

Part 21 of the device - ISC calls this the Rope Block, shown on page 3 of the manual - appears to work best when the Pisiform landmark of the palmar hand is near the Rope Block (the "meaty" bit by the wrist).

This requires the user to flip the device over to the black side facing when using the right hand to "cradle" the links. In my use, this eliminates any "jerkiness" in descent and gives really good control pretty much on any rope I have tried.

In my use, it then doesn't matter whether gloves are leather as recommended by ISC in the manual or rubber faced, as long as that portion of the palm is adjacent to the Rope Block. Maybe of help to newer users.

I think . . . or it could be the single malt again.

It does seem to be more comfortable/easier to control oriented so the MRS attachment holes are facing the climber.
