The DMM Spectre 2 is full size and large enough to be used with gloves for winter climbing.
The carabiner is very strong, easy to handle, very safe and remarkably light - The Spectre 2 comes in at 32g with a 9kN gate open strength and a well rounded 8.5mm rope bearing radius.
The Spectre 2 includes all the usual DMM refinements such as a shrouded nose, an even tension gate and a well rumbled finish to remove any sharp edges or clipping lines. It behaves very well on all webbings from 8mm dyneema to 16mm nylon and resists cross loading brilliantly.
DMM were the first company to develop and manufacture Ibeam carabiners and it is this experience along with our investment in creating the best aluminium forging plant in Europe that has enabled us to make this biner so light and so versatile.
The wire gate keeps weight to a minimum, whilst providing an easy clip with minimum chance of it freezing or gunging up. The customised gate is curved to give a constant tension for ease of clipping and increased long-term safety, whilst the tip of the wire is also bent so that it pulls into the nose when under tension to minimise the chance of gate open loading.The nose is also shrouded so that there is a reduced risk of the gate being knocked or dragged open accidently.
