What I don't like about ovals is when you grab them in your hand, you have no idea which side the gate is on and which side the hinge is on. It is too easy to fumble something. But each to their own.

Ok now im about tired of this crap, I hear it every time carabiners are mentioned on this site. So here you go, I always rack up w/ with my gate openings up and out, so if one has flipped around (it happpens) then i know the gate opening is in and down. Second grade rocket science, I know, but TRY to follow me here as I have more. Secondly, on my solid ovals I put the marking tape on the top of the gate (I dont'worry much about the wired ovals that I mostly carry as they are too f/n obvious)Problem solved, I hope this helps enlighten someone.

Ever try squeezing one to see?

If that's too hard to figure out they do make oval wires...........
