Description
This new carabiner represents the latest in the evolution of our Omegalite series. Now in it's fifth generation, we've answered climbers' needs for a carabiner that fits well in your hands, has a huge gate opening, and features a rope-friendly True Radius. Once again, we utilize our exclusive process known as ISO Cold Forging to build a hot-forged design at a reasonable, cold-forged cost.
The Five-O frame is versatile and tractable. It is functional in any of your favorite gate configurations: straight, bent, locking or wire ... whatever your preference, it is, the Five-O fits the bill. It's large enough that you can work routes with it; grab the bottom carabiner on a draw and you can still clip your cord. For Ice Climbing, even bulky gloves don't inhibit your ability to clip it.

I have about 30 of them and they are on most of my trad gear. The wide gate is great for ice sport and all the summer spots.

I'm not the littlest guy out on the crags. These fit my hands better than most of the biners out there. I love the ease on hooking the rope in while on route.
Weight isn't bad either. Sure there is lighter, but not for the size of them.
Can't seem to get enough of them.

When sport climbing, these are the draws I reach for when I'm in a pinch. HUGE opening and smooth action. They fit very nicely in your hand.
