Black Diamond Positron Quickdraw

Item #BLD1254 | 197 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Positrons are great.

By Ranked #135 - Carabiners, Quickdraws, and Belay Devices November 17, 2008

I love the Positron biners, and I am buying more to replace the wire gates on the bolt end of my other quickdraws. This 'draw is an excellent combination from Black Diamond. The keylock gates on both ends make for nearly effortless clipping and cleaning. I have a little trouble getting used to the lightweight 10mm Dynex sling however. It could be in my head, but it feels like the older fatter slings held everything more steady while clipping the rope. Now I am using wiregates on the rope end because it is more comfortable for me. (Black Diamond has a quickdraw like that too, the Hotwire, which I will buy next time)
