Ridiculously lightweight
By Complication
Ranked #346 - Carabiners, Quickdraws, and Belay Devices
November 5, 2007
This is one of the best carabiners you can get without sacrificing size for weight. It's super responsive and won't leave you worrying about its reliability compared to other non-locking biners with bulkier gates. The next non-locking biners I buy will undoubtedly be more HotWires.
