[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works as intended, the screw gate is smooth and belay gate prevent biner from rotating. The gate for the belay loop is a little small in my opinion but does not effect function.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this carabiner for both caving and climbing belay. For caving I like it on my bobbin because it prevent crossloading when you are doing change overs and rebelays. For climbing it has been great to keep things properly orientated. Love the color too!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pro: Never have to worry about accidentally loading my ATC onto this biner's gate or spine while belaying or rappelling. Cons: My belay loop is 2.5 cm in width and 7mm at the thickest point, which makes it difficult to easily slip the loop in and out through the internal gate as it often catches between the opened internal gate and the frame. My friend has a thinner belay loop and this wasn't an issue at all though. Color also easily wears off at points of contacts, though doesn't jeopardize integrity of its strength. Overall, would still recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The purpose of this biner is to avoid cross-loading while belaying. Pros: -Easy to install on belay loop. -Doesn't require opening the gate to open the belay-loop lock (like the BD one does). -Has a thick spine and large locking barrel to prevent a gri-gri from sliding in either direction. -The locking barrel is damped, and so doesn't move if rattled while not locked all the way. - The locking barrel has a lot of extra travel - even if it started to come open, it would have to twist many times before allowing the gate to open. - Belay-loop lock spring tension is nice and high. - Quite light for the functionality! Cons: -The belay-loop gate makes racking a gri-gri on your harness slightly more awkward. (The grigri ends up sitting at the large end, and the wire gate sits on your gear loop). - The wide spine (a feature noted above) reduces the versatility of the biner, since it doesn't fit into small holes (bolts, etc) as easily. But that's alright, since it's meant just for belaying anyway.
