A new innovation in the world of carabiners, the Petzl Ange S Wire Gate Carabiner is a hybrid of the traditional gate carabiner and the classic wire gate carabiner, making it both fluid and lightweight. At 28 g it offers an optimal weight/strength ratio thanks to the H-profile and MonoFil Keylock technology. The nose shape optimizes easy clipping and unclipping with a hole that allows ice, snow or dirt to be cleared out. Shaped with an indent on the bottom to keep a sling in place, the design and construction of this biner offer a smooth surface against your rope and protect the wire gate from lateral rubbing against rocks, extending the life of your life-saving gear.
