The Tricam Evo has three (instead of the historic two) placement possibilities, making it even more versatile. The Evo came about because of some simple engineering that produced a second chock possibility out of the TriCam — the wider section at the top of the head creates extra taper that also lends additional stability in cammed placements.

The newish (2013) Evos feature stiffened slings — the inner band of webbing is carried further towards the head using a new stitch pattern. These slings make one-handed placements easier, but still engage the cam in active mode and will even increase durability over sharp edges with the additional layer of material.

Specs

• Three (yes, that’s one additional) placement modes: active cam and two passive chocks
• Works where nothing else can fit, such as solution pockets
• Excellent in horizontal cracks
• Stiffer sewing on the slings for easier one-handed placement and extraction
