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 bolts or traditional protection & a rope groove to help direct any loads against the spine. This straight gate version is designed for the bolt/pro clipping 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.
