In addition, Simond also inherits the fine tradition of Decathlon - it maintains a relatively affordable price and has a good market share in Europe, but it is not very complete in the Chinese market, so it is not well-known.
 
Simond master locks and harnesses have a good reputation among rock climbing enthusiasts. In terms of primary locks, Simond can be roughly divided into two types, D-shaped main locks for GRIGRI protectors, and pear-shaped locks for all protectors. Among them, 3000 VIS is a cost-effective item, priced at 59 yuan, designed for thread lock doors, easy to use, even if you wear gloves, you can operate with one hand. The other Goliath Auto is an automatic lock, priced at about 110 yuan, and its lock door design is more complex, which effectively reduces the probability of opening the door outside the lock, and is more suitable for use in the rock museum.
