Great, compact device.

My wife and I have a weight difference of about 30-35lbs which can lead to her getting smashed into the wall on big falls. The Omega is an easy to use solution to this issue. As a leader it is very smooth to pull rope through, and as a belayer my wife appreciates not being pulled into the first draw when I whip.

Do not pre-order with REI

I pre-ordered this product with REI thinking that I will receive it, and my order was cancelled. Why do you have pre-order if you end up cancelling the order? This is the second time this has occurred with REI. Do not pre-order with REI, just buy directly from the company who makes the product.
