Petzl Ange S Wire Carabiner

Ultra light, compact carabiner with MonoFil Keylock system The new generation ANGE S carabiner represents the middle ground between the traditional gate carabiner and the classic wire gate carabiner. It combines the fluidity of the spring gate with the lightness of the wire gate system. Petzl's MonoFil Keylock technology and the H profile give the ANGE S carabiner an ultra light weight of 28 grams and an optimal weightstrength ratio. So it is particularly suitable for users looking to reduce their weight to a minimum. The large 23mm gate opening and the shape of the nose are designed to optimize clipping and unclipping. The ANGE S carabiner is ultra light 28 g and compact: it is ideal for mountaineering and multi pitch climbing where weight reduction is key Petzl's MonoFil Keylock ensures smoother opening and closing of the carabiner and a much longer lifetime compared to traditional wire gate carabiners. The wire gate is protected from lateral rubbing against rock... The unique H profile allows an optimal size and strength to weight ratio The indent on the bottom of the carabiner helps keep the STRING in place so that the sling is properly positioned on the carabiner The surfaces that come in contact with the rope and with the anchor are wider, for better rope glide and reduced carabiner wear The nose of the carabiner has a hole that allows ice, snow or dirt to be cleared out The deflector works with the shape of the carabiner to promote proper positioning of the carabiner on its major axis
