Great Basic Wiregate Carabiner

Just a solid wiregate carabiner. I use the Litewires for my alpine draws and to rack my cams. They are a bit heavier than the Miniwires, but I like the size and wider opening the Litewires have. Unless you are need to shed weight for an alpine climb or are really pushing grade, I find the Litewires to be the more sensible option. Additionally, the colors help make finding the right gear easier as you climb.

The standard

These guys are the standard medium size wide opening carabiner, conveniently in color coding that matches BD sizing. Keyed gates and narrow noses on carabiners are sometimes preferred for specific uses where you may need to frequently clip/unclip, or clip to crowded anchors/bolts, but these are primarily just for racking gear, where the most important thing you can have is organization and those other things matter a lot less. After all, if you’re having trouble UN-clipping a piece (when you follow, which is when you typically do that), you can just have your belayer take weight.

Very handy and easy to use

Bought this to connect Yeti to kayak. Easy peasy. Now, use it to connect my Yeti to a backpack strap while I ride a scooter back and forth to campus. Great buy.

Light and reasonably priced

Good little 'biners. I use them to hang hammocks, not climb.

Good carabiners, light weight with a firm but not too firm gate action. I will say they are quite jingley though. It doesn't bother me but a few buddies have made some comments about it.

Super light and perfect for trad

Was looking for a light bina and one thats available in multiple colors. This is it! I was easily able to get the colors I needed and use one for each of my different color cams. There are obvious disadvantages with such a small bina, such as can get your fingers stuck in it during clipping, but they are well worth it for the weight and space saving. Perfect for building a light weight trad set, but I won't be buying them individually for building sport quick draws....

Great for boots

I bought this for my kids Bogs. They clip their boots together and clip them to their backpacks so they don’t lose them between school, bus, and aftercare.
