A pack of 6 Wild Country Helium 3.0 carabiners in all the colours - perfect for racking your cams on colour-coded clips or making some cute rainbow draws.
The Wild Country Helium 3.0 is the latest incarnation of a carabiner widely regarded as one of the best wire-gates of all time. It's decent and ergonomics make it easy to handle (even with gloves on) and the wire gate trims weight down and slots into a niche at the nose for a clean profile that won't snag on slings, bolts, wires or ropes. This latest version has an improved gate design and mechanism, making it 5g heavier than the previous. That said it's still pretty light.
