DMMShadow Screwgate Carabiner

The Shadow carabiner strikes an ideal balance between weight and usability, weighing just 50 grams due to its I-Beam construction. This design feature enables you to carry multiple Shadows without feeling the burden of weight. Despite its lightweight nature, the Shadow is spacious enough to be used comfortably even in winter while wearing gloves. Equipped with a locking mechanism, this carabiner is versatile for various situations.

Personal lockers are essential in scenarios where weight and size are critical factors alongside strength, such as on sling runners and most connection points on belay stances. In a standard two-person climbing team, personal lockers are predominantly used for locking carabiners.

D-Shaped carabiners promote loading in their strongest orientation by directing loads towards the carabiner spine. An Offset D design enhances this concept by extending the top bar, thereby increasing internal volume. This modification improves handling and compatibility with thick ropes and slings.

The unique feature of the Shadow carabiner lies in its nose that fits into a groove in the gate, allowing it to achieve full strength without a gate notch. This design creates a sleek internal profile that prevents snagging on gear, bolts, or slings, facilitating easier clipping and removal from systems.

Utilizing I-Beam construction techniques, carabiners can achieve lighter weights without compromising strength. This is made possible through hot forging, a manufacturing process that enables the metal to be shaped into intricate forms, enhancing overall functionality.

With an 18mm gate opening, weighing 50g, and boasting a strength of 24kN, 7kN, and 9kN, the Shadow carabiner is a reliable and efficient choice for climbers seeking a blend of durability and lightweight performance.
