Edelrid Bulletproof Carabiner

The steel insert is located at the apex where the rope runs, which is the point of highest friction. This protects the aluminum body from the sharp edges and burrs that typically form over time, significantly extending the carabiner's lifespan compared to standard aluminum models.

Yes, the bent-gate design is specifically optimized for the rope-end of a quickdraw. It makes clipping the rope into the carabiner much smoother and faster while you are on the wall.

At 54 grams, it is slightly heavier than some ultralight aluminum carabiners, but the weight penalty is minimal. The H-profile construction helps keep the overall weight down while maintaining a high strength-to-weight ratio.

Yes, the keylock nose design eliminates the hook found on traditional carabiners. This ensures that the carabiner won't snag on your harness gear loops, slings, or the rope during clipping.

The gate opening is 20 mm, which provides ample space for clipping the rope easily without being overly bulky.
