Ergonomic carabiner dream - Edelrid Bulletproof Carabiner

Really impressed with these biners. Besides the engineering with the steel insert that makes them and your rope last longer they feel great in your hands. I bought them for the insert, with the straight gate being used to clip to bolt hangers and not worry about the hangers digging into the aluminum. I use the bent gates for the rope side and the stainless steel keeps the rope clean (not black hands) by note rubbing aluminum oxide onto/into the rope. The bonus I was not expecting was how ergonomic these carabiners are. The shape fits in your hands without feeling like you are crimping on them. I can get all my fingers or just a few around it, as it is long enough. This makes it more comfortable to hold when clipping and unclipping. The gate has finger indentations that make it is easier to grasp and hence open. The spring action on the gate is solid in its security, but with a lighter action than other I have used, that opening the gate when you are pumped is easier. The design of this biner just makes it easier to clip and unclip with all the little details they put into it. You really notice it when your hands are getting tired.
