Mammut Shock Absorber Dyneema - 16mm

Item #MAM0158 | 0 in Stock
3 Star Rating

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.

Use the regular yates screamer, not the shorty. Even cheaper and believe it or not - lighter than the shorty.

Amen brother. And for ~1/2 the price why note go with the yates?
