DMM Spectre Wiregate Carabiner Cosmetic 2nd
Basically this is DMM Phantom's larger brother, that's because the Phantom came before the current Spectre and this is the full size version of the Phantom.
The new Spectre is different from the old Spectre, there have been changes to the design that make it a safer biner. A deeper rope basket to keep the rope in the correct position should there be a fall, a tweaked design so it works better with modern skinny Dyneema. This means that the quickdraw tape sits in a neat and correctly aligned position.
The new Spectre comes in at 3g below the old Spectre which doesn't sound too much but when you add it up they all count! As with it's smaller brother the Phantom, the Spectre comes in a selection of colours to enable you to match them with your cams.
Not only that... but have DMM managed to answer that eternal question? What came first, the chicken or the egg? Well if the evolution of the Spectre is anything to go by it was obviously the egg!

Cosmetic 2nds
DMM aren't perfect, sometimes the colour isn't quite right or there's a little blemish. Most of the time you can't even tell why the poor biner has been knocked off to the 2nds bin, what you can tell though is that they are cheaper AND still safe! Don't worry we aren't raiding the bins and filing off the sharp bits, these are all as safe and strong as their full priced counterparts. Once they're gone we likely won't see any more for some time so snap them up while you can.
