Kouba Cams Comet X
Code: 2538/1
Product detailed description
The Kouba Comet X is a modern single-axle cam designed for traditional climbing, multi-pitch routes, and alpine adventures. Its lightweight construction, ergonomic handling, and stable design make it ideal wherever low rack weight is as important as reliable protection.
The redesigned ergonomic thumb press significantly improves handling, placement precision, and accessibility in awkward or difficult crack positions. A shaped thumb support with anti-slip grooves allows secure manipulation even with tired hands or gloves.
The cross-wired stem construction greatly increases stability between the stem and cam lobes, preventing twisting and deformation while improving long-term durability and reliability.
Comet X cams are lightweight, flexible, and easy to handle. Colour-coded slings allow quick size identification on the harness, while high-quality Dyneema slings help reduce overall weight.
Manufactured in the Czech Republic, Comet X cams combine quality craftsmanship, durability, and serviceability. Certified according to EN 12276 for mountaineering equipment and sporting use.
