Have held up well. I like to use carabiners for general use and clipping various items (hats/shoes/towels/pepper spray) to my daypack on hikes.
Good value for money. Lightweight wire gates to use to bail or for trad slings.
Finally got to give these things a go with some of my new cams. They're solid biners that are so lightweight they feel like they're made of paper mache. Unlike some other lightweight cams they don't have that flimsy, slippery feeling to them. They have a great textured surface that makes them easy to manipulate when one of your hands is occupied keeping you from falling on to your last piece and pooping yourself. Love the litewires, they're my new standard.

I use these for alpine draws and to rack cams - the colors match BD cams, so it helps with organization and makes it easier to spot which pro you need when pumped, at the crux, or in a sketchy spot. The lightweight construction helps cut weight especially when you're carrying over 20 of them. It would be nice if they made pink in this size rather than only in the mini.
Why not have matching color biners on your Camalots? They are light, color matching and easy to clip. Rack up and look good!
Solid quality - I don't climb but use these for affixing various things to the outside of my pack.
The LimeWire Carabiners allow for color coordination with trad gear to allow for an easy selection of a harness or sling. the carabiners are also surprisingly light which makes them much more enjoyable for use as gear weight adds up. The carabiners can also allow for a colorful set of quickdraws.
I use these carabiners for guiding on glaciers, using in my anchors, holding prussics, etc. I assigned a certain color to a certain length prussic and cords so I know what length I am getting without having to study the cords every time. Have used these for years. Very well made. Had no issues.
Great carabiners, colors fall right in line with your BD cams. Helps you to stay organized racking both prior to and on route. Gates are smooth, a good size and don't get caught up while trying to grab gear off your harness while climbing. No complaints.
