Superfly Screwlock Carabiner

Bravo Trango! This superlight locking carabiner is lighter than most regular carabiners. How did they do that? Well, to start with, it is smaller than most biners, approx 2/3 size. Specs are still an acceptable 24Kn major, 7kn minor and 9kn gate open strength. This biner rocks. Smooth gate opening with a regular gate configuration (not a keylock) and of course a screwlock. The only caveat is obviously to be expected: gate width open measures 17mil., and the corresponding space inside is small as well. Although this may deter some climbers who strictly aid climb and want the wide open space a big HMS will provide, for the rest of us aging heavy climbers, the weight savings alone is enough to buy 3 or 4 of these. Clipped to your harness, you'll never notice them until you look for them.
