In certain situations, where the user lets the rope slide freely through the PIRANA to intentionally drop into the water, the rope runs quickly through the descender and can accidentally get blocked in the PIRANA’s blocking slot. The user is then stuck, and may not be able to remove the rope from this position. This situation can be dangerous, with a drowning risk, especially if the user is stuck under a waterfall or in a pool of water.
New feedback from the field since our July 2021 safety alert (modification to the Instructions for Use) led to our decision to recall the affected PIRANA.
If you have a PIRANA that is affected by this recall, stop using it immediately and return it to our local after-sales service via the contact form listed at the bottom of this notice. You will be offered a refund. Petzl will pay for the return shipping costs.

Features:
USA NSF Protocols P231 & P248:
Microorganisms in backcountry water can pose an immediate risk to your health. NSF P231 and P248 are the most rigorous scientific standards for proving a device safely removes these microbes from challenging wilderness sources. These standards confirm the device’s effectiveness throughout the entire life of its filter.
All MSR filters pass P231 for removal of bacteria and protozoa, and our Guardian Purifiers are the market’s only to pass the military standard P248 testing for virus removal.
At Outdoor eStore we think that as the world changes, more people head outdoors with less skills, as travel expands to more remote areas and natural disasters keep impacting the natural environment, the MSR Guardian™ Gravity Purifier will become essential equipment for any outdoors person or traveller.
The Guardian Gravity Purifier has you covered with safe water around the world, removing viruses, bacteria, protozoa, sediment and microplastics hands-free. Simply hang it while you go about your tasks at the hostel, basecamp or campsite—its 10L reservoir supports the daily water needs of multiple people. Originally designed to protect servicemembers in the field, this rugged purifier handles the abuse of travel and meets the NSF P248 military testing standard. Over coming years, this will be as important as your tent in your outdoor kit.
Features:
YOUR WEIGHT, PLUS GEAR
The more you weigh, the more flotation you need. While snowshoeing, be sure to consider your body weight PLUS the gear and clothing you’ll be wearing on most of your snowshoeing adventures. Include an estimate of your backpack contents as well.
MAXIMISE YOUR RANGE
You don’t want to buy a giant pair of snowshoes for the extra floatation on that once a year trip, if you spend 80% of your time on established trails or in consolidated snow.
SNOWSHOE SIZES FOR BIG SHOES
All MSR bindings are designed to accommodate a Men’s US 6 – 13 (Men’s and unisex shoes) and a Women’s US 5 – 13 (Women’s shoes). However, should you have a larger size shoe, or use a large-shelled boot (like a snowboarding or plastic mountaineering boot) in the upper range of this sizing, we recommend considering the TriFit or DuoFit bindings on the Evo Ascent and all “Trail”-designated shoes. These strap bindings allow for the widest range of adjustment to ensure proper alignment of large boots over the snowshoe’s pivot point.
