    Maybe three quarts to half the size of Dutchwead biners.

    I've searched the web and can't find anything, though admittedly I suck at the interweb.

    I want to use them on the CRL and have a few of the really small s-biners but the ridge line keeps popping out of the gate.
    Aren't there small s-biners with locking gates?

    I used the very small NiteIze metal s-biner initially. The size is perfect and gates are easy to work wearing gloves, and are plenty strong, but they lack a recess for the bail to sit in when the biner is closed and the Zingit finds a way to wiggle under the bail once under tension, and ultimately pops out..

    I know they make the locking s-biner, but rather than try, and try different solutions it was easier to just go Dutch. Buy once, Cry once, and be done with it.
