Black Diamond Oz Carabiner
The
Black Diamond Oz carabiner is is the lightest full-funtion wiregate carabiner that Black Diamond produces. Weighing in at a scant 28 grams, the Oz has the same size, capacity, and clip-ability as the Neutrino but weighs in 8 grams lighter thanks, in part, to its hot-forged construction which decreases weight while increasing strength. That may not sound like a lot, but when your trad or sport rack consists of dozens of biners a few grams here and there can make a huge difference. The hoodwire design means the Oz won't snag as well, making the perfect wiregate design. So if you're putting together some light quickdraws, or assembling a lightweight trad rack, consider the Black Diamond Oz Carabiner, those extra ounces can make a big difference.
