TEST: CONNECT COMPACT TUBE via ferrata set is the STRONGEST!

The upcoming issue 05-2013 of magazine ALPIN from germany is including a review of 12 via ferrata sets from different brands. All from the latest generation.

The last months have brought up various problems and potential danger using older sets so the focus was mainly on durability and safety.

They made tests according to latest EN and UIAA standards but even included a so called ageing test (50.0000 stretch-cycles) to check strenght after heavy wear and tear. And: our STUBAI CONNECT COMPACT TUBE performed best with 20,3 kN which is way above the competitors. We obviously learned the lesson by increasing the contingency fund to a max. Of course we comfortably managed all other criteria too, the 4,8 kN impact force was one of the lowest by the way (allowed: 6 kN).

So the total score was 5 out of 5 stars for safety. Brilliant!
