Mammut Shock Absorber Dyneema

For thin ice, small gear, or places where protection is questionable at best, clip into the Mammut Dyneema Shock Absorber. This quick-draw-style runner features an exterior coating that holds a folded over runner. When fall force exceeds 2.5 kN, the tiny seams holding the runner together tear, lengthening the runner to full size and reducing fall factor by 30%. With a sketchy piece of gear or a screw in unstable ice, 30% could mean the difference between a whipper and a body bag.

Bottom Line: Inspire confidence in marginal gear with the Mammut Shock Absorber.

I'd rather have a shorty.

These are fine, but I'd rather have a Yates Shorty Screamer instead. Although slightly less bulky than Screamers, the Mammut Shock Absorbers have a higher activation force. I'd rather subject the placement to as little force as possible if the placement, pin or screw is sketchy.

Mammut Shock absorber

By:

This is a very specialized peice of gear and does not need to replace all your dogbones. At what it does, it is so great. I have 4 that I use on super sketchy gear when aiding and climbing ice. The Dyneema is rad, these used to be made by Yates with standard nylon and they were super bulky. These are great. You wont want to ever use them, and when you do you will likely be crapping in your pants, but you will be really gald you have them.

I have to agree w/ the person who likes the shortys

I cannot see where this screamer is any better than a yates .

I like Mammut gear but for the price and what this thing does I will stick w/Yates screamers
