Petzl Reverso 3 Belay Device, Blue

Petzl REVERSO 3 Ultra-light multipurpose belay/rappel device


This multi-purpose belay/rappel device is lightweight and easy to use. The asymmetrical V-shaped grooved friction channels adapt the friction on the rope according to its diameter and condition (ARC -Adaptive Rope Control- technology)

Ultra-light design:

  • - minimalist construction
  • - hot-forged aluminum
  • - weight: 77 g


A single device for all rope types:

  • - effective braking on half and twin ropes ≥ 7.5 mm
  • - effective braking on single ropes ≥ 8.9 mm
  • - can belay the leader, one or two seconding climbers and can be used for rappelling
  • - independent and simultaneous belaying of one or two seconding climbers in Reverso mode
  • - quick changeovers from Reverso mode to belaying the leader when climbing multi-pitch routes

V-shaped friction channels:

  • - increased friction on thin ropes
  • - friction is adapted for larger diameter ropes
  • - increases the locking pressure on the ropes in Reverso Mode

Asymmetrically grooved sidewalls:

  • - increased braking power during a leader or top rope fall or while rappelling
  • - rope smoothly slides through device when taking up slack
  • Carabiner hole to release device when loaded  in Reverso mode: allows the loaded device in Reverso mode to be easily and gradually released with only a carabiner

Rope friendly, facilitates belay and rope handling:

  • - will not kink the ropes regardless of the mode used
  • - separates the two strands of rope when belaying and rappelling

Intuitive use:

  • - Reverso mode attachment point is easy to identify
  • - keeper cable keeps the device from moving up the rope when belaying and reduces chances of losing the device
  • - usage diagrams (standard belay and Reverso modes) engraved on device
  • Use with symmetrical shaped locking carabiners (Am'D or OK) to maximize efficiency no matter which end is closest to the device.
