I really like the Nano 23 biner that whoopie slings sells,,light, easy to use, and hold power is good to go. check them out at above link.

Camp Nano 23's are, as the name implies, 23 grams each. Have a 20 kN rating (~4500 lbs force). About $7 each.

Wow, the above post came as I was posting mine. I guess we great minds think alike :-)

Yep, they're light, strong, and elegant.

If buying online: go Dutch (shouldn't be hard for you )

If buying local: Black Diamond Oz, weighs 1 oz, the ninkumpoop at the local outdoor store thought Oz stood for Australia They cost about € 10-15 a piece. Will show you this weekend buddy!

All the other recommendations are great but hard to find locally, so online is the alternative ....

Due to local availability, I use the Metolius FS Mini wiregate biner. 25g, 22kN rating. Nice little units.

I rock climb and about a year ago I did a pretty exhaustive search for the lightest 'biner for racking gear. The conclusion of my search:

C.A.M.P. Nano 23

Another vote for the C.A.M.P. Nano 23's. I researched what I thought was every carabiner made and decided on these for the store.
