Nice biner but not durable
Review by: caughtinside, 2010-12-03
Maybe durable isn't the right word for it... I bought 18 of these 6 months ago, and already two of them have funked sticky gates. It's too bad, these were my favorites. They are way lightweight, have a protected nose, and clip well. I don't like the superflys and the moses because the nose isn't protected, and these were lighter than the neutrinos, my old standby. Love this biner but it just doesn't hold up.
Clips great

Nicest clipping biner on my rack (nuetrinos, elements, hotwires) Clips so easy, it almost makes me doubt it's security, but i've never had it unclip, so.... It's light, it's hooded, clips good, pretty cheap ($7-8 retail?)
