Wild Country Xenon HMS Belay Carabiner

The wire keeper is a small, internal wire gate that keeps the carabiner properly oriented on your belay loop. This prevents the carabiner from rotating and cross-loading, which is essential for maintaining the full strength of the device while you belay.

The Screw Gate offers a classic, manual locking mechanism that is reliable and easy to operate with one hand. The TRILOCK version provides an automatic locking action, which is generally safer for beginners or those who want to ensure the gate is always locked without needing to manually screw it shut.

Yes, the keylock nose design eliminates the hook found on traditional carabiners, which prevents the nose from snagging on your harness gear loops, rope, or slings when you are clipping or unclipping.

The Xenon HMS is a versatile, pear-shaped carabiner designed to work well with most standard belay devices, including tube-style devices and assisted-braking devices. Its smooth interior profile is specifically shaped to allow the rope to feed through cleanly.

The I-beam construction removes excess material from non-load-bearing areas of the carabiner. This allows it to be significantly lighter without sacrificing the structural strength required for climbing safety.
