Edelrid Via Ferrata Belay Kit II - Assisted Braking Set with HMS Carabiner and Dyneema Sling

On exposed via ferrata routes, climbers need a belay system that is secure, simple to operate, and lightweight. The Edelrid Via Ferrata Belay Kit II bundles the Mega Jul belay device, an HMS Bulletproof Screw FG carabiner, and a 60 cm Dyneema sling into one ready-to-use package. The Mega Jul's assisted braking geometry helps arrest a fall even if the belayer's hand is knocked away, while the carabiner's steel insert prevents premature wear from rope friction. This kit is equally at home on multi-pitch trad climbs and sport routes where a lightweight, reliable setup matters.

Why choose it

The Mega Jul's assisted braking function adds a layer of safety without the complexity of a fully mechanical device. The Bulletproof carabiner's steel insert dramatically extends lifespan when used with dirty or gritty ropes, and the Dyneema sling offers high strength at minimal weight. Together, the kit weighs just 158 g, making it an excellent choice for weight-conscious climbers.

Ideal use cases

• Multi-pitch trad climbing and sport climbing
• Rappelling and belaying with single, half, or twin ropes

Good to know

The kit is certified to CE 0123 and UIAA standards, ensuring reliable performance. The carabiner's steel insert is particularly beneficial for use with sandy or abrasive ropes, extending the life of the gear. The Dyneema sling is lightweight yet strong, making it a versatile component for building anchors or extending the belay.
