Oval Plain Gate

The Oval’s symmetrical shape prevents gear bunching up when racked, while it's Keylock nose prevents gear snagging when being removed from the carabiner.

The Oval also works well in rigging. Round baskets let attachments self-centre, allowing the carabiner to slide - rather than jump - into position when loaded. The basket shapes are compatible with devices such as pulleys and modern assisted breaking belay devices.

Comes as standard with a matt grey anodised finish, but can also be supplied with a matt black anodised finisth or with more specialist Ceracote finishes in a range of tactical colours from artic white to desert coyote. The Ceracote coatings are also available with a reduced IR signature.

Solid gates are robust and have positive handling characteristics. Grooves in the gate give extra grip, increasing control when making tricky clips. Solid gate carabiners are suited to sport climbing, where ease of handling and resistance to wear are more important than low weight.
