Trango Regulock HMS Carabiner

A triple-action lock requires three distinct movements—usually a slide, twist, and pull—to open the gate. This mechanism is significantly more secure than a standard screw-gate, as it prevents the gate from accidentally opening if it rubs against your harness or rope.

Yes, the pear-shaped HMS design is specifically optimized for belaying. Its wide top basket allows for smooth rope movement and accommodates various belay devices, including tube-style devices and Munter hitches.

The 22mm gate opening is quite generous, which makes clipping ropes, webbing, or multiple pieces of gear much easier. You will find it particularly helpful when you are wearing gloves or working in high-stress situations where you need to clip quickly.

At 87.88 grams, it is a standard weight for a robust, triple-locking HMS carabiner. While you might choose lighter, non-locking carabiners for quickdraws, the added weight here is a trade-off for the increased safety and durability required for belay and anchor stations.

Absolutely. The HMS shape is ideal for rappelling, as it provides enough space to manage your friction device comfortably and ensures the carabiner stays properly oriented under load.
