The Shadow screwgate carabiner by DMM ticks all the boxes as a versatile biner that you can take to the gym, trad climbing, or on winter climbs. It is strong (24kN), light (50g), and handles incredibly well with or without gloves on. DMM used their advanced Hot Forging technology to optimize the distribution of metal so that it allows for an 18mm gate opening and an incredibly low weight. Contact points have been reinforced for ultra-abrasion resistance to offer a longer lifespan and a clean snag-free nose plys a squared-off spine making the handling of this biner an absolute joy.
Ergonomically designed for climbers who want the best.
DMM is an awesome recreational climbing and mountaineering equipment company from Llanberis North Wales. Founded in 1981 they still make and test all their gear from home.
