The Aero is a high quality, hot-forged solid gate carabiner with a strong 9Kn gate open strength for extra safety. It features a shrouded nose to protect the gate from accidentally opening and a rope groove to help direct any loads against the spine. The carabiner is a good size for all-round use and has a nice wide 22mm gate opening, so that even clipping thick webbing is easy. The quickdraw comes on 16mm nylon tape in both 12cm and 18cm lengths that give good wear resistance and are easy to hold when working routes.
