Most importantly the Reverso 3 remedies the only drawback, in my eyes, of the original Reverso with the inclusion of a front attachment point (thank-you hot forging!!!), thus solving the issue of how to release tension from the system while in guide plate mode. Furthermore, the attachment point is large enough to fit your average karabiner (something which the Black Diamond Guide XTC attempted to do but didn't quite manage) so you don't have to faff around with bits of cord while your second is having the time of their life!"

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 change-overs 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
- increased holding power 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:
- will not kink the ropes regardless of the mode used
- separates the two strands of rope when belaying and rappelling
Intuitive:
- 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.
