DMM CHIMERA QUICKDRAW - 12CM - PURPLE - 6 PACK

DMM Chimera Wiregate Quickdraw

DMM have taken the ever classic, popular and wonderful Phantom - shaven off the hook and added a clean forged nose. It's a ting of beauty. 

The perfect solution for Trad, Alpine, Winter and Multi-pitch sport where weight is key but with out sacrificing control. That said if you've got lunch boxes for hands the Alpha Trad might suit better 

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.

Fully clean nose for extra security
A secondary forging process creates a recess in the carabiner nose that houses the gate notch. This creates a smooth inner profile that prevents snagging on gear, ropes and slings. It also means the nose of the carabiner is wider than the gate, guarding against accidental gate opening caused by rubbing on rock.

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.

From the team at DMM
"An evolution of our ever popular Phantom, the Chimera is the ultimate in high performance, light weight, clean nosed biners. Perfectly suited to trad or alpine adventures where a light rack adds to your chance of success."
