One of the lightest, full-function wire gate carabiners on the market, Black Diamond's Oz keeps things lean when every ounce counts.

  • Carabiners are hot-forged from 7075-T6 aluminum for lightweight strength; anodized finish enhances service life
  • Carabiner geometry fits snugly in your hand and is angled at the nose to clip easily into protection placements
  • Wire gate makes rope clipping smooth and fast with its flat shape; low gate mass minimizes lashback
  • Hooded gate nose helps prevent wire gate from being accidentally rubbed open

Please note: Black Diamond products can only be shipped to the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

Made in USA.

    Comments about Black Diamond Oz Wiregate Carabiner:

    I've tried several of the other ultralight carabiners, and this is my favorite. The gate action feels great, the opening is surprisingly roomy, and the hood over the nose helps to lessen snagging. The size feels about the same as the BD Neutrino, ample for normal to small hands. It might be a little small for some people - if you don't like the Neutrino you won't like this either.

    I use these primarily for trad draws. There's enough room to easily feed another carabiner and runner through to shorten the length. I still prefer the Neutrino for racking cams, as matching the cam colors simplifies gear selection. If the Oz came in more colors I'd buy more.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Black Diamond Oz Wiregate Carabiner:

      This biner weighs less than 1 oz and still has a rating of 20 kN along the long axis! I pair this with a 20 cm dogbone and a Positron straight gate biner for the ultimate draw.
