This is a really great lightweight draw! I hesitate to call it a trad draw OR a sport draw ? it occupies a similar niche as, say, the Mad Rock Concorde, or the BD MiniWire, two other very solid options. It's light enough for trad climbs where you don't need crazy extension, or where there might be bolts to clip in long runouts (Red Rocks, some parts of the ADK, etc). However, it's also build solid enough for hangdogging sport routes, and though it's on the lighter side for a true project draw, on a route you know well, a set of these will treat you nicely and keep your harness light. I think the main difference between these draws and something like the BD/MR equivalents is the fit and finish. DMM, though pricey, makes some gorgeous gear, and I feel confident racking these. Of course, the MiniWire would serve you just as well, but if you wanted a slightly nicer piece of gear, these are the ones to go for.
