Dream come true

by wontakkim on 07/18/2018
Pros
Light
Affordable
Stiff dogbone for better control
Relatively wide and smooth wire-gate
Cons
Typical wire-gate notch on the nose design can cause snagging
Rated slightly weaker on major axis than the solid gate equivalent C.A.M.P carabiner
Familiarity
I’ve used it a few of times

These are excellent quickdraws for any climbing level. The wire-gate carabiners are a good size and surprisingly light. The opening is relatively wide with good tension on the gate. The dog bone is stiff that it doesn't flop around when you are clipping.

I love using these quickdraws and would say they are perfect for both sports and trad applications. The downside of these draws, in theory, is just the typical wiregate limitations. Mainly the nose notch can be annoying at times when it gets caught on slings. But it isn't any worse than other wiregates on the market and I personally never had issues with it. All in all, I am surprised that CAMP advertises it as a beginners quickdraw. I just hope they keep producing these.

Outdoor Gear Lab Gear Review rating 4/5

There's a lot to like about the CAMP USA Orbit Wire Express KS: it's lightweight, affordable, and a good all-around draw for those who like to do a little bit of everything. While not a standout for us in any one application, this would be a good choice for a climbing generalist, and notable for its exceptional value.

If you know of a good product video that should be here, let us know, and we'll put it up.
