The Spirits are my favorite draws of all time. The clipping is smoother than my pickup lines after a 12-pack, and the bones are just stiff enough to hold the draw steady on the wall, but not stick out after the rope is clipped. I have a rack of about 20 of these in all 3 size bones.
I absolutely love this carabiner and it's straight gate companion. The orange color is attractive, they weigh next to nothing, feel extremely durable, and clip easily. When you're gripped on lead and looking at a decent whip the last thing you want is to be futzing around with the gate of your 'biner. Enter Petzl Spirit. I wouldn't use anything else, the slightly elevated price point compared to other carabiners of similar functionality is money well spent.
I like the design because the small bend makes it easier to clip w/ one hand.
When I first walked into the store, I wasn't sure what all REI had to offer. Once I looked around I saw many things that I wanted to help me when I go camping, but I desperately needed something that could hold all of my keys, and I heard from a friend that REI had an exceptional selection of Carabiners that would contain every key that I could find. I went and looked to my surprise I'm in love with this cabinet and wouldn't prefer any other ones to hold all of my keys.
I take one of these carabines everywhere i go. whether that would be scuba diving, climbing, or just as a key chain the Petzl Spirit Bent Gate Carabiner never seems to fail.
i dont use these for climbing. i have several of them and I use them for boating, kayak fishing, and scuba diving. They hold up well in salt water.
This is an awesome product that is not only strong, but incredibly reliable. It moves with ease and can take up a lot of weight. I mainly used this for holding my waterbottle and for climbing. Both it was not too little nor too much for. It looks great as well
Nose doesn’t get hung up when trying to unclip from line. Good size, KN 23. Bright color, easy to find. Lightweight. Bears load. Dependable.
Muy fácil de usar útil para la cordada, llevar mi herramienta o llevar mi botella de agua.
this carabiner is as strong as it gets. i bought it to use as a key clip. works great.
