Description

Trango 3 Cams have the well deserved reputation of being the most durable, user-friendly and economical cams you can get. (See the different sizes in the last sales argument) *To make them easy to use they feature a free floating trigger bar that you can operate with one, two or three fingers, even if you're wearing gloves. *Trango double-loops and bar tack a Spectra sling onto the cam so you can clip the frame directly for aiding, through both loops for a short sling, or as one loop to eliminate the need for an extra draw. *Trango's 3 Cams have a 50% thicker center cam to prevent deformation failure. The design of Trango's trigger bar not only saves weight but the runner sleeve increases the strength of the unit by 15%. *The trigger bar lets you actuate the cams independently when you're fiddling around with a tricky placement--very nice--and it won't get all jammed up if you get a bunch of grit in the cable. *3 cams can be ordered in the following sizes and dimension width. No.1 is 15-20 mm No.2 is 17-23 mm No.3 is 19-28 mm No.4 is 22-34 mm

FYI, Trango stopped producing 3CU's in 2001.

Good cam for the $$ - I've got an older pair of the #3 and # 4 sizes, both still going strong.

I'm very happy with these. I've got the full set (all 4), and might even buy a second set. The double looped sling is great. Extended or not, it's supple enough to help keep teh cam where it's supposed to be. Mine are relatively old, and have been used nearly every time I climb, and Iv'e had no problems with the durability. I've fallen on all but the smallest, and they held like a champ. Even took a 20 footer on the red one and it dind't even flinch. No problms wiht the plastic tail on them either. It's held up jsut fine. For the price, they're hard to beat IMO.

These guys are great. I have size 3 and size 4. They are very stable and secure, not to mention easy to place. I have not fallen on them yet, but I fully trust them.
