The hot forged DMM Spectre has an I-beam construction allowing for the minimum weight over the maximum strength and . The rope basket allows the rope to sit perfectly while it\'s running through the carabiner and ensures the rope is in the optimum place during a fall offering the maximum security. The Spectre quickdraw is perfect for climbers building their first rack. The carabiners are full sized for easy handling and have a small gate notch for reduced snagging. A lightweight 11mm Dynatec sling links the carabiners, making a great starter quickdraw that can be used for all styles of climbing. A highly functional all-round quickdraw that is the ideal backbone of your first climbing rack! Features Set of 6 Classic all-round wire gate carabiner for flexibility: All-round range are mounted on 11mm Dynatec to give quickdraws that can be used for sport, trad or winter climbing. Full sized carabiners are easy to handle when pumped or wearing gloves, while 11mm Dynatec is lightweight and robust. If you want one set of quickdraws to cover all your climbing, go for all-rounders. 12cm / 4.7in Quickdraw mounted on 11mm Dynatec sling to balance low weight and durability: Dynatec is strong and light, allowing thin and flexible slings to be used to connect carabiners. An 11mm diameter sling strikes a balance between minimal weight and durability, creating lightweight quickdraws that can withstand repeated use. Wire gate carabiners for maximum weight saving: Wire gates are the lightest gate type available, and are appropriate for trad, alpine and winter climbing, where minimal weight is desirable. They are less likely to freeze and clog with ice than solid gate biners, making them ideal for winter and alpine climbing. Small gate notch reduces snagging: Carabiners with wire gates need a gate notch to achieve their full strength rating. The notches on these carabiners are as small as possible while remaining functional, reducing the chance of them snagging on other equipment. Lightweight​ I-Beam construction for optimum strength to weight ratio: I-Beam construction techniques allow carabiners to be lighter without compromising strength. This is achieved through hot forging, a process which allows metal to be made into complex shapes that improve functionality. Contrasting carabiner colours identify rope and gear ends of quickdraw: Contact with wires and bolts can mark a carabiner with sharp edges that might be harmful to ropes. The carabiners on our quickdraws are differentiated by colour, allowing you to consistently use the same end for either protection or ropes.

Dynatec Material: Dynatec has a high strength-to-weight ratio and is abrasion resistant, making it an ideal material for creating lightweight quickdraws, that can withstand repeated use. It also absorbs less water than nylon. An important consideration for winter climbing. The retainer at one end helps maintain the correct orientation of an attached carabiner, such as when used for clipping the rope into the quickdraw as a runner.
