DMM Phantom Snapgate

The Phantom is our super light carabiner and we are rather proud of its specification - it weighs a meagre 26g and we have both kept it large enough to be functional, and made it super safe with 3 sigma 9kN gate open strength.

The Phantom is the ultimate carabiner for trad and alpine climbing - the weight saving it makes on a big Gogarth rack is remarkable.

The Phantom moves I-Beam hot forging technology to the next level by using a new, stronger 7000 series alloy and a bespoke wire on the gate that shaves off the extra grams whilst allowing us to maintain ergonomics and strength.

All the standard DMM characteristics are present: a customised wire gate that pulls into the nose under load, a rope groove, a fully anodised finish and the 'even tension' gate.

We have kept the rope radius at a friendly 8.5mm so that it loads ropes, wires and slings across the widest area possible.

The Phantom is available in 7 individual colours and also a 5 pack containing red, blue, green, gold and purple carabiners. This allows climbers to colour code their cams and other equipment for easy recognition.

Features:

    * I Beam construction for strength/lightness
    * Wire gate less likely to freeze up in winter
    * Hot Forged
    * Rope groove to locate rope correctly
