When rotated, it makes the descender loss-proof when transferred from the equipment loop to the ventral attachment point or anchor. The Freino Z is compatible with the I’D S, I’D L, I’D EVAC and RIG self-braking descenders.
The Ocun Falcon Screw is a neat screwgate karabiner, featuring a keylock nose and a construction that maximizes strength while cutting down on the weight. It's a great size for carrying as part of a trad rack, not so large that it'll clutter your gear loops, but not so small that it'll become fiddly. To this extent, the krab also has ridges down the spine for improved handling and security.
The OCUN Falcon is the perfect all-round carabiner for outdoor climbing, now in a pack of three! Colour coded to be easily identifiable too. Strong, easy to use and bright.
The DMM Shadow Straight Gate is a lighter-weight, yet still large enough carabiner that it can be used as a crossover for both sport and trad quickdraws. Where the Shadow would rest on a bolt, the metal has been reinforced to provide durability, and a clean nose reduces snagging when clipping and stripping routes. The gate has chamfered sides to make gripping it with the thumb easier, and the size makes for easier clipping in comparison to the much smaller lightweight carabiners.
The DMM Shadow Bent Gate is a bent gate aluminium alloy carabiner, perfect for rope side of quickdraws or racking gear. the I beam construction gives full strength but a reduced weight, making the Shadow a lightweight, full-sized carabiner. It also features a snag free keylock nose.
The DMM Ultra O Screwgate is an extremely symmetrical oval climbing carabiner, ideal for use with assisted belay devices, pulleys, swivels and shackles. Some oval carabiners are not as symmetrical as others, making them less useful for their designed purpose. The DMM Ultra O Coloured 3-Pack includes three different colours of the Ultra O screwgate carabiners.
