Things to consider when buying climbing
Before we get into the detail of our Petzl GriGri + review we thought it would be worth quickly touching upon some key things for you to consider when buying climbing online.
The main things that we’ll run through are the quality, features, price, reviews and brand. All of these play an important part of buying any products online, but are especially important when buying climbing.
There’s so much information available online when we’re shopping now, that it’s easy to find lots of detail about products like Petzl GriGri +. This is of course really helpful, but there’s almost too much information available, so it’s important to know exactly what you’re looking for.
That’s why we’ve pulled together this list of key factors for Petzl GriGri + below, to help you choose if it’s the right product for you and your budget.
Quality of Petzl GriGri +
When buying climbing, the quality of the product is going to be one of the factors that you really scrutinise before you commit to buying.
The downside to buying online is that you can’t actually get hold of the product to try it out first.
There are however some methods that you can use to determine a product’s quality without needing to physically have it.
The material the product is made from is often a sign of the quality for climbing. Take a look at the product details over at Cotswold Outdoor to get a feel for this.
Features and specification are another great area to look at. There will be some products that are amazing quality and packed full of additional features or specifications, but do take the time to really get an idea if you need that level of quality or if your budget and needs mean you should get something else.
Another factor that can be a great indication of product quality is the brand. Brands like Petzl are of course extremely well known, especially for climbing.
Price – as you’d expect the price of a product can be an instantly recognisable factor on what sort of quality you can expect. Whoever came up with the phrase “you get what you pay for” pretty much hit the nail on the head. Whilst it’s not always the case and there are many bargains to be had, you can as a general rule, expect the higher priced products to offer better quality than a the cheapest option. We’ll dive into the price of Petzl GriGri + in more detail in a moment.
Perhaps the best way to really get an idea of the quality of a product is to see what current customers have to say about it by reading reviews. Reviews will give you a great detail of information and with any luck some of the reviews will have provided information about the quality of Petzl GriGri +.

To give that price some context we then looked at all of the products available from Cotswold Outdoor in the climbing category. We found 48 items in total.

That got us thinking though, that we’re looking at every possible item from Petzl so it would be good to narrow our search down even further and only look at Petzl branded products within the climbing category.
