    This product is for…

    Alpinists building their own alpine draws or stocking a glacier kit with non-locking carabiners. Climbers with larger hands are specifically called out as a good fit for this series.

    Worth noting…

    The LiteWire series runs slightly larger than comparable non-lockers, which suits bigger hands but may be worth considering for those who prefer a smaller gate.
