Camp Dyon: New lightweight hookless biner
|
camp-usa.com/products/carab…
   33g 1.2 oz 21mm gate opening Same weight as a WC Helium (33g, 27mm). Same gate opening as a BD OZ but heavier (22mm, 28g). At least the nose should fit through even the smallest piton heads, the OZ and even the Helium can both be a pain sometimes. Would have thought they could make it a bit lighter to match the OZ, the Camp Photon is quite impressive at 29g for a full size biner (28mm gate). Has anyone had the chance to handle one? |

the gate looks like a safety pin turned sideways |
|
Ha also probably worth noting is the price! |
|
I can just see this opening way too easily when rubbing on the rock or another piece of equipment. |

Good point on gate opening when rubbing. Hopefully they ran a higher gate tension than on the photons. |

I used a bunch of these carabiners while ice climbing in Canada this weekend - they are awesome! |

At MEC, the WC Helium 2 are $43.00 CAD each ($32.83 USD), add 5% federal tax and deduct 15% when you buy 5+ gives you $14.65 USD/each. |

In Washington DC that's called "alternative math". But more to the point: backcountrygear.com/wild-co… |

But more to the point: backcountrygear.com/wild-co…$43.00 CAD per quickdraw! = $32.83 USD 32.83 - 15% (4.9245) = 27.9055 27.9055 + 5% (1.395275) = 29.30078 $29.30 per QD = $14.65 per biner I was starting to think I was going crazy there |
