Compatible with ropes from \u003cstrong\u003e8mm to 13mm\u003c\/strong\u003e and fully ambidextrous, it's worn on either foot to convert each step into clean upward progress with reduced drag and improved self-tending — so effort goes into the climb rather than fighting the gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotch Equipment\u003c\/strong\u003e is a US-based designer and manufacturer of climbing, rigging and PPE built specifically for professional tree care, with a strong reputation among arborists for practical, field-tested innovation — the original Jet Step was the industry's first toothless dual-cam foot ascender. The Jet Step II is a complete redesign: the compact body removes the lower fairleads and adds angel wing guides on the dual cams to minimise kickout and dramatically reduce drag, while a new wire gate keeps trouser fabric clear of the fairlead and prevents accidental disengagement.
