Best canyoneering carabiner, bar none

This little beauty is great in a canyon. Non-bulky on the harness (thus slides through slots well), yet still HMS-ish shaped for tying a munter-mule or other contingency in a rappel. The keylock makes it easy to clip/unclip while a little bit weighted (while changing over, mid-rappel etc), and the red line makes an unlocked 'biner easy to spot from a distance. Plus, for its size, the gate clearance is pretty huge. However, it feels a bit small for my climbing style, but maybe I'm just used to larger locking carabiners.
