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.
