Not only does the Petzl Reverso 4 Belay Device give you serious stopping power when holding massive whippers, but it also functions as an auto-locking device when you're belaying the following climber directly off the anchor. This allows you to re-rack, tie your shoes, sip some water, and take a few photos without risking your climbing partner. Belaying two followers at once? No problem. Rappelling 15 pitches? The deep groves give you plenty of control. Petzl also added a secondary clip-in point to help you release a locked rope if you need to lower a follower who's fallen.
- Functions as a self-locking device when belaying off the anchor
- Trimmed-down design shaves weight well below the previous versions
- Deep V-notches add plenty of friction increase control for long rappels
- Works on single ropes down to 8.9mm
Bottom Line: Meet the new standard.

At first it looks as a great improvement over Reverso 3 - has a big binner hole for releasing a second in auto-block mode and much lighter.
Probably you don't want to take it outdoors - it's soooo light, aluminium alloy walls are soooo thin, overall it feels soooo fragile so I bought the spare Reverso 3 for my outdoors adventures. I do not trust this ultralight design - feels like it would be broken after the first contact with rock.
Disclaimer. Yes, I understand that "feels and seems" are not about the Reverso 4 but about my perception. Anyway I would never use any climbing hardware I do not trust and this review reflects my subjective opinion.
Anyway it's a cool belay device and a good example of a well-done engineering job (perhaps, too-well-done). If you feel comfortable with Reverso 4 it would serve your belay needs. Just never drop it on a hard surface even from you waist height.

Both me and my other two climbing partners use this extensively for outdoor, it is rated the same way any other device is. I see what you mean but there is no question on if it is good for outdoors. (It does scuff up easily though but not a problem with functionality)
Does what it's supposed to.

Smooth as butter, haven't tried the reverso function but I will someday. If it is at all like the reverso three it will last awhile. the colors aren't too bad either, i have the gray, its got swag the orange is also cool, Its a great device for belaying top rope and gym climbing so stop thinking and just buy it already!
