i've 9 of these silver straight-gate ones. no QC or construction issues as mentioned in one of the other reviews for the Ultra Light Bent. i bought them at Beach City Rocks in Manhattan Beach, the only local place that sold them at the time. the staff was nice enough to let me take a biner off each of the displayed draws and buy only the biners. had mine for about 6 months now. one little annoyance i've noticed is that the gate's spring action gets pretty weak when the gate is pressed open all the way back, much weaker than that of the other WC, Trango, and BD wire biners that i have. probably easily fixable by MR in the next edition of these Ultra Lights. again, just a minor annoyance. am happy with them overall

like the extra cushioning and quality built, and the 36" width that fits it into the back of my car to double as a mattress

my trad shoes. the women ones sport a more masculine color, except for the baby blue laces, which i've replaced with raw leather strips cut from the withers of a raging bull

have the #1 blue and #2 red, the better option for parallel placements at those sizes

the purple #5 C4 weighs only ~30 g more than the red #5 Tech Friend, the weight of a wire biner. that in exchange for slightly more expansion range and the nice thumb loop
