DMM Aether Quickdraw — 7 models

The Aether is suited to fast and light climbs where there can be no compromise in weight or security.

Its lightweight body is complemented by a clean nose to prevent accidental opening or snagging. Security is enhanced by 8kN open gate and 21kN major axis strengths.

When pushing your limits on an alpine climb or a tough trad onsight, the Aether is the ideal carabiner.

Mounted on a 11mm Dynatec Dyneema sling, the Aether quickdraw is for those who refuse to compromise between weight and security.

Also available as alpine quickdraws with an 8mm 60cm Dynatec sling.

Features of DMM Aether Quickdraw:

• Super-light quickdraw for minimum weight - Super-light carabiners are mounted on slim-line Dynatec to create quickdraws that minimise weight. These quickdraws are suitable for alpine climbing, trad onsighting, and any other scenario where minimum weight is desirable.
• Mounted on 11mm Dynatec to balance low weight and durability - Dynatec is strong and light, allowing thin and flexible slings to be used to connect carabiners. An 11mm diameter sling strikes a balance between minimal weight and durability, creating lightweight quickdraws that can withstand repeated use.
• Wire gate carabiners for maximum weight saving - Wire gates are the lightest gate type available, and are appropriate for trad, alpine and winter climbing, where minimal weight is desirable. They are less likely to freeze and clog with ice than solid gate biners, making them ideal for winter and alpine climbing.
• Fully clean nose for extra security - A secondary forging process creates a recess in the carabiner nose that houses the gate notch. This creates a smooth inner profile that prevents snagging on gear, ropes and slings. It also means the nose of the carabiner is wider than the gate, guarding against accidental gate opening caused by rubbing on rock.
• I-Beam construction for optimum strength to weight ratio - I-Beam construction techniques allow carabiners to be lighter without compromising strength. This is achieved through hot forging, a process which allows metal to be made into complex shapes that improve functionality.
• Contrasting carabiner colours identify rope and gear ends of quickdraw - Contact with wires and bolts can mark a carabiner with sharp edges that might be harmful to ropes. The carabiners on our quickdraws are differentiated by colour, allowing you to consistently use the same end for either protection or ropes.
