NRS Sliq Carabiner

The asymmetrical D-shape is engineered to keep the load oriented toward the carabiner's spine, which is its strongest axis. This shape also provides a larger gate opening compared to a symmetrical oval, making it much easier to clip ropes or gear quickly.

Yes, the Sliq is CE EN12275 certified and features a 25 kN major axis strength, making it robust enough for standard climbing applications. However, because it is a non-locking carabiner, it is best suited for quickdraws or racking gear rather than critical belay or anchor points where a locking mechanism is required.

Absolutely. The keylock nose eliminates the 'hook' found on traditional carabiners, which prevents the gate from snagging on your rope, webbing, or harness gear loops when you are unclipping. It makes for a much smoother, frustration-free experience.

Hot forging allows the manufacturer to distribute metal precisely where it is needed most, creating a stronger, lighter product than traditional stamping methods. Combined with the anodized finish, this carabiner is built to resist corrosion and handle the wear and tear of regular outdoor use.

A 20 mm gate opening is standard for this size of carabiner and is generally sufficient for most climbing ropes and webbing. If you are frequently using exceptionally thick ropes or bulky rigging setups, you might find it slightly tight, but for standard climbing and utility tasks, it works perfectly.
