Description

With two Positron carabiners and a Polyester Dogbone, the Black Diamond Positron Quickdraw is our top value in full keylock functionality. The light, smooth-clipping design eliminates snags whether you're cranking on sport routes or extending gear placements, and the integrated Straitjacket insert keeps the bottom biner in the optimal clipping position.

Straight gate Positron on top and bent gate Positron on the bottom.
Dual keylocks ease clipping and cleaning.

Not fancy

While there are certainly lighter miles on the market this one is a tried and true classic in my opinion. Nothing fancy nothing light weight just a solid Quick Draw.

Outdoor Gear Lab Gear Review rating 4/5

The Black Diamond Positron has been around for a long time now — our lead tester first purchased a set around 15 years ago — and up until this year, they've largely been unchanged. We appreciate the small updates that BD recently made to this draw, making them even more user-friendly. If you're starting out in the sport, these are an excellent choice, particularly if you see yourself mostly sport climbing.
