Very fiddly and annoying to clip

By Backcountry.com Employee Professional Athlete May 4, 2009

I really didn't enjoy clipping these draws. They were so light and narrow-profile that they were a pain to use. They were a little harder to pull off a gearloop because they are so spindly. If you should happen to bump the bottom biner when clipping the rope into them, they bounce around a lot more than normal draws. Frustrating.

I see a lot of people here talking about the weight savings, but how much will that affect you, the review-reader? I climb single pitch sport routes, so a little bit of weight savings won't mean squat to me. Unless you're loading up a ton of draws for super long pitches, I doubt the weight savings will mean anything to you either.
