Hotforge Straight Gate Carabiner

The HotForge Straight Gate Carabiner is a modern take on our classic keylock carabiner. Purpose built for the bolt-side of quickdraws, the HotForge is the most durable bolt-side carabiner we&';ve ever built, while its straight gate makes clipping bolts nice and easy. Featuring a hot forged construction-allowing us to remove weight where it&';s not needed and add material where durability is key-the HotForge has a deeper basket for better clipping, while the hinge-end basket is flatter to ensure the webbing of quickdraws stays put. A larger rope bearing surface adds durability for the carabiner, while the flats on the gate reduce the likelihood of the gate opening accidentally. Finally, we&';ve updated and optimized the nose geometry to allow for efficient clipping and unclipping from bolts.
