After much research, I purchased some of these to replace my heavy, bulky Petzl Attache lockers. First off, I would be lying if I said their totally badass design didn't influence my purchase. Now, on to reviewing...

Strength-wise they are on-par with the Attaches, give or take a kilonewton. However, they are almost half the weight. The specs really don't give Mammut enough credit for how light these are. At 58g (verified), they are lighter than many of my non-locking carabiners. I love watching the stunned expressions on my friends' faces when they feel how nutty light they are.

Both the nose and carabiner body are significantly narrower than on the Attache. I found this made them easier to clip, especially when clipping anchor chains on sport routes. The gate requires more force to open than the Attaches, but is easy to hold open, and snaps shut sharply when released. It does not chafe against the nose at all, even after use and cross-loading (which is difficult to do with the carabiner shape). Operating the locking sheath remains silky smooth, even after repeated use at dusty crags.

The only downside? The gate opening is pathetically small... about 1cm less than the Attaches. However, for racking slings or pulleys, tying knots, or building anchors, it is plenty wide enough.

I bought the O-Wall over other ovals (such as the BD Oval) because of the keylock gate. The keylock gate works great, the biner has a great narrow nose which fits well through small holes, and a very clean design. However, I have two gripes with it: it is heavier than every other oval on the market, and it isn't even oval! It's an oval-ish D-shape. This poses a problem when using it with pulleys like the Petzl Ultralegere which need to sit parallel to the carabiner's spine. A problem when using it for a hauling or rescue system.

Purchased this as an alternative to my heavy-weight TNF Windwall fleece. It is easily as warm, but is less bulky, weighs nothing and packs to the size of a tennis ball. I layer it over a lightweight shirt and under my soft shell. It has kept me comfortably warm sitting on summits at sub-zero temperatures in heavy wind. I'm 5'10" 165lbs and ordered a medium. Fit is a little baggier than I was expecting, but torso and sleeve length are both long enough to retain coverage during high reaches. As an "ultralight" garment, you have to accept the decreased durability. I'm cautious to wear it as my outer-most layer, and the collar lining is showing wear. That being said, I would highly recommend it.
