Alternative source for lower-offs?

Hey all,

We've used these clips a lot in Newfoundland on various climbs. We have about 10 routes left to do, but with the tarrifs, we're hesitant to buy from the US at the moment. I can't seem to find a Canadian or European supplier for something similar. Does anyone have any advice?

In my experience, the US Stainless quicklinks and lower off are the worst I've used, but that's to be expected coming from the US. Will not buy again. Sticky gates, bad threads. And yes, with the tariffs and the clown running the show, best to buy elsewhere. Good luck.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
