Sexy lightweight biners for racking your cams
Seriously the coolest-looking biners out there. Feels good in your hands and the addition of the hoody provides snag-free clipping all day long. The colors are made to match the Camalot colors, so you'll know what cam you're grabbing by just looking down at your harness instead of fumbling through a...

Poor quality control
I have found out that I am not the only one where half of the rack pack has very stiff gates. I loved the hoodwire and liked the new Oz so I threw down the cash for two rackpacks, but found that half on each are really stiff, not my favorite when pumped out trying to clip and worse trying to clip tw...

Light weight with an innovative fully hooded gate for safety. Smooth action. Versatile, good for most applications and the racking carabiner for all my cams. I prefer a larger carabiner for crux clipping, but these handle everything else. Massive improvement over the original Oz. Color coordination is nice and makes they really pretty!

Significant handeling dislike

BD invited me to do a review of the OZ biner so I did. I am not comfortable with the OZ because I need to grasp it too low to open the gate, and it feels like it will dart out of my hand like a pumpkin seed. Although the wire gate guard is a clever feature to reduce snagging, the unexpected consequence is that to open the gate I need to grab the gate BELOW the nose, and the biner sits very shallowly in my hand. In contrast, for most other biners including the neutrino, my finger and thumb can be placed well ABOVE the nose allowing the biner to sit much deeper in my hand. Bottom line â€" the OZ slips out of my hand too easily and I’m not comfortable using it.

Another quality product from BD. Very light and I like the colors to help organize your rack.
Great for Matching to Pants

I like to carry my keys on a carabiner when i'm climbing at Momentum, but I also like that carabiner to be able to take a full load just in case, so that ruled out any "not for climbing" carabiners you see on other people's belt loops. I was getting bored with using a regular old metallic silver carabiner so when I saw that Black Diamond released a set of colored carabiners, I was psyched. Now I can match the carabiner to what i'm wearing all the time, and I don't have to worry about it failing in case I have to use it in an emergency situation.
