Description

Ultralight clipping for any day of climbing.

At under three ounces, the Wild Country Nitro Quick Draw is one of the lightest full-size quickdraws on the market today. With two ultralight Nitro wiregate biners and a super-skinny Dyneema dogbone, this quickdraw is ready for marathon sport pitches, dicey trad leads, and everything in between.

I ordered a set of eight Nitros and upon receiving them I immediately noticed how light they are. These things barely weigh anything, which is super nice. On the flip side, the aluminum doesn't seem very strong. In a mere four sessions three of the draws already have small chunks of metal missing from contact with the steel bolts. Plus, the rope-end of the draw is incredibly loose and likes to flip around on me when climbing. The colors are also identical, which requires a bit of labor on your end to differentiate if you want to do so.

tl;dr: It's a super light draw that clips incredibly smoothly, but doesn't have very good durability. The rope-end biner likes to flip around in the loose dogbone.

Just arrived today, but I wanted to let potential buyers know that, you do not get the gray/gray biner combo pictured. You actually get a silver/gray biner combo, which I like more since there would be no confusion on mixing up rope side and bolt side biners. I have not used them yet, but clip action is crisp, and the draw is just super light weight. Definitely ready to put these bad boys to the test, I will comment on this again with my review after a few months of use. Yeah

For the cost, there isn't a larger quickdraw, that is lighter, as far as I know.

Also, the action on the gate is exactly how I like it. Softer to start than a hotwire, but just as secure.

The gate opens easily, the grove in the bottom of the biner makes for less rope drag, the biner is very light while being large enough for easy gripping. I've never owned more expensive biners, but couldn't imagine needing more performance than what these biners provide.

Some say that the rubber insert breaks easly - is it true? And what length is better for trad and sometimes sport climging in crags - 10 or 15 cm? Does 15 cm length tend to twist around becouse of a thin dogbone?

Alex, Yes! Have bought the Nitros. I bought 6x 10cm and 6x15cm. Now I would buy 12x15 cm. 10 is bit too short. If youre going to make these ans Your alpine draws - REMEMBER TO MARK WHICH BINER GOES FOR THE ROPE AND WHICH TO THE BOLT! Because they're the same colour.

hi Im think about purchasing 8 - 10 QD for trad routes in mountains and trads on crags. and im thinking about those and Astro's The Question is - which ones ? Astros are lighter but smaller , Nitros are bit heavier and bigger. Nit sure which ones should I go for. Like if its more dificult to clip both lines of rope into Astro than Nitro?

...and if you don't know, when Grouch says "alpine draws", he means a single length (60cm/24") sling with two carabiners on it. These are especially nice because you can customize which carabiners and slings to use - I'd recommend the BD Dynex (for its durability, small bar tack, and thin profile), with a BD Oz for the gear end, and the larger Camp photon for the rope end. Having two different colored biners makes sure the rope biner never develops burrs from rubbing on steel hangers or cables.

Doing some reading around, the Wild Country site has some great info on not only this biner but all of its other biners...

Plus, i reckon WC are on the money by taking argueably the best wire-gate on the market (in the helium) and then just making it cheaper and therefore more accessable to the masses, admittedly at the loss of their revolutionary nose design, but definately not at the loss of quality.

the biner is a great size, its not to small and not to large. the weight is great only complaint is the dogbone is a little narrow i know a lot of companies are going with the 10mm width but i feel that the 12mm is far great as it does not twist around as much ! other than that the features on this are great. the wire gate could not be better

The nitro carabiner is the exact same as the twice as expensive helium carabiner with a skinnier hooded nose, which makes it cheaper to produce and hence cheaper for the consumer to purchase. I love these draws, they are light, inexpensive, and made with the highest quality - what more could you ask for?

they are not the 'exact same'. the helium is a hooded, snag free design.

Awesome! Smooth action. Wiregate is just right...not too soft, not too stiff. I use these for my trad draws and the rope end on my sport draws and they clip grrreat! I also have the WC Wild Wire for my trad draws but the Nitro's are definitely much smoother and high quality.
