The Full Review:
When you think of a 6-pack you probably don't think of it costing north of a hundred bucks, but this one will make you think twice. The photon straight gate is one of the lightest (if not THE lightest) keylocking carabiner in the world, yet boasts a 22kN major axis rating. At the other end, you have the Photon wire. This carabiner has one of the smoothest actions I've ever felt in a carabiner - pure rope-clipping bliss. In between, a burly 16mm dogbone with the Karstop Evo carabiner retainer that prevents the carabiner from failing as you're trying to clip pro.
The Good
Lightweight. Great action on both ends of the quickdraw. Great safety rating
The Bad:
High price tag
The Bottom Line:
If you feel like a splurge, SEND IT!! Lightweight and smooth action makes this a must-have for my sport rack.
