Hi! I'm looking for Quarks on eBay, have Petzl changed the design of them ver the years? The ones I'm looking at are 6 yrs, but hardly used and the only diff I can see is that there are no griprests (which I can get from elsewhere)
Thanks, Espen

I know myself, and a large number of climbers, feel a little sketchy about buying used climbing gear. It's would be one thing to buy from friend if you know the gear wasn't abused, but be careful buying six year old ice axes, even if they look new.

A few minor changes have occurred over the years. You can add the griprests to the older model. Also, I believe the sling attachment point might have changed too. I've climbed with both--feel the same.
