The Edelrid Giga Jul is particularly light and simultaneously robust and abrasion resistant. This is made possible by a smart hybrid construction of aluminum and steel. The main body of the Giga Jul is made from particularly light aluminum. Parts which are at risk of wear (for example the friction channels) are made from robust stainless steel. 

By moving the green slider, the Giga Jul is instantly transformed from an assisted braking tuber to a standard tuber.
