DMM Alpha Light Carabiner, Finally Released!

They succeeded by creating a carabiner that hit their strength requirements while keeping the carabiner just under full size. The carabiner shape has a bent back, as many of DMM’s biners do, that they say increases the safety and handling because it fits in your hand more naturally. They also added groves on the back of the spine to reduce slippage, especially when wearing gloves. In the video, Chris mentions them as “grippy grips,” which I really hope is the technical term.
