Big performance, small package.
The DMM Phantom HMS Screwgate Carabiner proves you don't need to choose between weight and capability. At just 56g, it's one of the lightest true HMS carabiners on the market, but the pear shape is the real deal, allowing full use of the Italian Hitch when a belay device is the last thing on your mind. The extra-short gate maximizes working space inside the 'biner, so you can fit two clove hitches without a fight, making it a capable anchor point as well as an ideal belay locker. The round, generous rope bearing surface is kind to your rope and keeps belaying smooth, while the keylock nose makes clipping and cleaning bolted routes quick and snag-free. Made from 7075-T6 aluminum with I-Beam construction, it packs serious strength into a compact frame.
