Blue Ice Micro Facet Locking Carabiner
At Skimoco, we always get excited about gear that optimizes weight without sacrificing performance. At just 40g, the Macro Facet Locking Carabiner certainly falls into the Fast and Light category, as it is designed for alpinists who prioritize ultra-compact, minimalist gear that is simple to use and reliable when the going gets tough. Ideal for anchoring, the optimized-for-unidirectional-loading design ensures that force is directed toward the main axis, maintaining a superior weight-to-strength ratio. It also features an 18mm opening width, an easy-to-see visual safety indicator, and a hexagonal thimble for a good grip even when wearing gloves. The Macro Facet is a wonderful option for those seeking the lightest possible locking carabiner.
- Made from hot-forged 7000 series aluminum.
- Easy-to-use locking design in a weight competitive with non-locking carabiners.
- Optimized for balance between weight and generous gate opening.
