My Runva 9500 is easy enough to pull out on freespool....at least .not like its something I'd be concerned about.
I bought the Runva on a combination of good feedback, proven warranty (with no problem on water ingress) and price.
Mine is purely there for that "I'm stupid, I thought I could make it" moment when I'm out camping someplace.....not for hauling me up rock steps every weekend.
