[USMA:24025] Re: Black Diamond Co.- Go Metric!

It's the ION. I do take one thing back. Although all distances are quoted in meters, and in the text of the manual all weights are in grams, on the marketting icons, there is a single conversion to 0.9ounces, although it's to the outside of the icon and is a smaller/more faint font.

Those icons are the icons that are printed on the specs portion of the back of the external package. No conversion given for meters.

But otherwise, it's IFP free. And a welcome sight from an American company.

Here's a scan.

To bad the manual is not available on-line in PDF format.  Can you scan it
and post it for us?
