    Locking S Biner question

    I see dutch offers 2 types of locking Nite Ize S biners, the "Locking S Biner" And the "S Biner Micro Lock" Does anyone have both? Which holds more securely? Looking to use it to attach my GoPro remote to my pack strap, but don't want to risk it accidentally opening and me loosing the remote.

    Thanks!

    Both are really secure but if I was to pick one I would say the Locking S-Biner. Mostly because the S-biner Micro lock is tiny and you can rotate it closed but not the whole way. The Locking S-Biner had a slide lock. Not only can you feel it better when it clicks but you can see it is engages. It also is bigger.

    Do these come in a number 4 size? I thought the site said they do, but I only have the option for a 2 size.

    I use a 4 for my work keys, and a few times a month they come unclipped when putting on my seatbelt. This results in an empty biner on my belt loop, and a 20 minute walk after I get to my office and realize my keys are sitting on my car seat.

    They do come in #4 But I don't carry them anymore, but they are easy enough to find.
