Born to simplify all kinds of maneuvers in canyons.
WHY GIO?
It has all the advantages of the 8 and does not have the defects
It is perfect for the beginner in the basic modalities and is an excellent companion for the expert canyoner and guides, for advanced techniques of progression, assistance and rescue.
Using it in the classic way you will no longer have to worry about the potential danger of "wolf's mouth", with GIGIO it is impossible for it to form.
It is versatile and easy to use. It is possible to modulate the friction in at least 17 different levels, depending on the weight of the user, the thickness and stiffness of the string and the playing conditions.
It does NOT have hooks or stops to get entangled with ropes, backpacks, other canyoners' equipment.
NO sharp corners where the rope can get caught

HOW DID WE CREATE GIGIO?
We manufacture GIGIO in aeronautical aluminum, Ergal AL7075, lighter and much more resistant than the alloys commonly used in canyoning descenders.
We have chosen a "hard" anodic treatment that better protects the aluminum. This treatment gives the aluminum a background color that does not allow light pigmentation (blue, pink, red, green, etc.), so we opted to "color" it opaque black. This pigment is inherently brittle and easy to scratch or mark with carabiners or other objects.
Therefore, minor scratches and scuffs that will appear on first use are a feature and not a defect. We have chosen to take care of the substance because we believe that it is more important that GIGIO is as each of us would like to be: strong on the inside!
