Best choice for starter rack

These are about as light as you can get, perfectly strong enough to protect any lead fall, and it's BD so you know it's quality gear. Probably most importantly for most is the best price when it comes to QUALITY quickdraws. The wire gate is noticeably easier to clip then BD's bent gate, so it's worth the extra little cost. The only issue I have with these is that since the dogbone is so narrow it tends to rotate more front to back and can make a cruxey clip harder to stick. Great for beginners to learn proper (and more efficient) clipping hand technique. For sport routes that do not wander, they are definately the best choice.
