Moisky is my light biner hook up. I just got back from a 3 day excursion and those 8 gram biners worked great, I used them with my whoopie slings and it was just click and lay down. Hmm maybe Miosky would like to trade a couple whoopie slings for some more of those Euro-magical-biners.

Cheaper than a nano and not THAT much heavier at 30 grams... Its rated at 6kn or 1350 pounds. Aluminum alloy.

I just ordered 4 slim carabiner made by Edelrid @ 12g.It was only after I pushed the take my money button that I realised I could have got the even lighter 8 gramme version.

Ah well will have to shoulder the extra 4 grammes weight.Thanks Moski for introducing these to me/us.

The 8 gramme version is only good for 330 lbs ... I'm not sure I'd trust them, at least not for my bulk.

More reliable???, maybe because of the potential loss of biners but not from failure, that is if we're talkin climbing biners. I rock climbed for ten yrs and never had a failure and i wasn't just hanging in a hammock.

personally i wouldn't use any biner unless it was rated for climbing and by an established company otherwise its just an accessory biner and they can say anything.
