The Kong Italy Argon F carabiner is specifically designed for lightweight and compact gear. Its innovative design allows for smoother rope glide and easy use with belay devices. The D-shaped carabiner transfers most of the load onto the spine, giving it maximum strength. Its asymmetrical shape is perfect for connecting belay or rappel devices, and the wire gate is not only lighter than solid ones, but also less likely to ice up. This high-quality product is proudly made in Italy.
