The Aero is a high quality, hot-forged solid gate carabiner with a strong gate open strength for extra safety. It features a shrouded keylock nose to reduce snagging when clipping & a rope groove to help direct any loads against the spine. This bent gate version is designed for the rope end of a quickdraw. The carabiner is a good size for all-round use & has a nice wide gate opening, so that even clipping thick webbing is easy. The gate itself contains a deep bend that rolls into the nose to make clipping very easy
- even when you are pumped stupid miles above the last gear; at the same time the gate/nose intersection has been carefully designed so that the chances of the rope unclipping itself are minimised. DMM also use a relatively strong spring pressure both to reduce the chances of gate flutter happening & also to reduce the chances of the rope unclipping itself when backclipped.
