Figure 8s

We stock a good variety of figure 8 descenders of various shapes and sizes suitable for recreational abseiling, outdoor education, commercial or rescue applications. Aluminium soft-anodised figure 8s are light and inexpensive, hard-coat anodised products are much more durable, while stainless steel is the ultimate in toughness.
