This page is provided for reference to historical product information.

Weighing a mere 36g (1.3 oz.), the C.A.M.P. USA Photon Straight Gate carabiner is one of the lightest key lock carabiners on the market.

  • 'Biner is ideal for racking gear and making quickdraws
  • Key lock nose won't snag on pro, ropes or slings, making the 'biner simple to clip
  • Surfaces that come into contact with the climbing rope are wider than other parts of the carabiner for smooth passage of the rope and reduced wear on the 'biner
  • C.A.M.P. USA Photon Straight Gate carabiner has a large gate opening that makes clipping slings and gear easy

Imported.

    Comments about C.A.M.P. USA Photon Straight Gate Carabiner:

    If I'm going with a heavier biner, I still love the action of the Petzl Spirit ... but why go heavy? I find that the sightly-increased gate resistance of the Photon is perfect for its lower weight. I don't want a light biner (flopping in the wind) that is too easy to open. The CAMP Photon wiregate is an example of too easy to open, IMO. I like the basket of this Photon (I like most newer baskets ... and this is no exception). It is suprising how much lighter you feel when you trade out some old heavies for a few Photons. These are keepers.
