I for one love the Zig zag and Petzl products. I just hope there will not be additional cost's if there is a revised version? I hope this can get worked out soon because the zz was an energy saver to use in my daily climbing!

Good for you guys!
A simply idea i had talked about with the reps at the TCIExpo would be a similar design as the pirana attachment point. Just a rubber grommet installed in the attachment points to keep biners centered!

Hope it all gets worked out soon! Thanks again
