The UNIVERSO is a complete and lightweight belay system that is particularly comfortable and efficient to use on all rope diameters. This system consists of a VERSO belay device, an ATTACHE 3D carabiner and an exclusive sliding connection piece.
Exclusive connection piece allows the VERSO belay device to remain in position and the ATTACHE 3D carabiner to work along its major axis
Connection piece also limits the risk of dropping the belay device during rope maneuvers
Easy and quick installation on the rope
Reduced risk of being burnt by the belay device when removing it from the rope
System is easily reversed (right/left)
A single device for all rope types:- effective braking on half and twin ropes ≥ 7.5 mm- effective braking on single ropes ≥ 8.9 mm
V-shaped friction channels:- increased friction on thin ropes- friction is adapted for larger diameter ropes
Asymmetrically grooved sidewalls:- increased braking power during a leader or top rope fall or while rappelling- rope smoothly slides through device when taking up slack
Rope friendly, facilitates belay and rope handling:- does not twist the rope- separates the two strands of rope when belaying and rappelling

Not really a fan of these. I guess it’s cool because it’s lightweight, but I’d rather just have a separate ATC and carabiner. 

 I recently picked up one of the Black Diamond ATC Sport Belays, and it is SEXXXXYYYY. Even though it’s only single line… still, super nice.
