Edelrid Pure Slider Locking Carabiner

Here's a little secret: Climbers do not need huge, bulky locking carabiners to make anchors, belay our partners, or clipping critical gear! Yes, the locking mechanism certainly matters...but size does not.

Edelrid took that notion and made some magic with their offset-D shaped Pure Slider, a svelte autolocker with a sliding gate mechanism that doesn't involve screwing, banishes twisting, and can be comfortably operated while wearing gloves. Not only does the slide-gate minimize the risk of accidental gate openings but it won't ice up as easily as traditional screw- or twist-gates. 

So, the brass tacks? Adding the Pure Slider to your rack saves weight, saves room, provides more security, can be operated with gloves on, and won't ice or gunk up. Gotta love meaningful innovation!
