We appreciate Mad Rock's efforts to create the least expensive draw possible. There's always a need for budget items, and the Concorde is something even the poorest of dirtbags could probably afford. While this quickdraw doesn't perform as well as the more expensive models, if you don't care about anything else but the price of your quickdraws (and some climbers just don't!), then these are hard to beat.
My only complaint is that the carabiners are a bit on the small side and the gate-openings are smaller than a larger wire-gate carabiner, but that's the trade-off for a lightweight quickdraw. I also prefer bolt-end carabiners that have a keylock gate which isn't prone to snagging on bolt hangers or soft-goods like cam slings. That said, while using these quickdraws, I realized how rarely that happens anyway. I'm also willing to forego that luxury for a quickdraw that costs half as much as one with a fancy keylock gate design.
The Mad Rock Concorde Draw is light, strong, easy to use, and completely functional. For those just starting to build their rack, or anyone on a budget, the Concorde is an excellent option. Read more about them on the Mad Rock website.
