Skylotec Sirius Rope Devices
Skylotec Sirius Compact Descender
The Sirius packs the strengths of a full size industrial and rescue descender into an extremely compact device, so it handles better and lasts longer. It sits neatly in the hand, and the auto returning operating lever has a very small radius of motion, which lets you work quickly, accurately and comfortably.
Rope insertion is intuitive and simple, and the karabiner on the harness can stay connected to the device while you thread it. The route of the rope is designed to protect it from twisting, kinking and excessive wear. The Sirius is made of up to 100 percent metal with no vulnerable synthetic parts, which gives it outstanding durability and a 30 year maximum service life. Choose the self locking industrial and rescue version, the version without the anti panic function, or the tactical version. Browse more descenders, the wider rope access range, or the full Skylotec range. It pairs with the Mark 1 Plus abseil device and the ISC D5 descender.
