Ghost
Designed from the ground up as a carabiner for tactical and law enforcement end users. Certified to EN12275:2013 (Mountain Equipment - Connectors) and EN362:2004 (PPE against falls from height).
The brief of the Ghost carabiner project was to significantly reduce the sound signature of the gate mechanism and all other contact surfaces whilst maintaining the size, gate opening and strength characteristics of a standard screwgate carabiner.
By creating a bespoke carabiner back we have been able to injection mould a noise reducing coating over all of the main surfaces whilst leaving an exposed aluminium rope basket to maintain good wear characteristics.
The unique screwgate configuration contains proprietary dampers to manage the distinctive 'click' of the gate mechanism being opened or snapped closed, a feature which is especially important in covert urban climbing operations.
Another benefit to the over moulded screwgate barrel is that it creates an anti vibrate function once fully closed adding another level of safety.
At 72grams and measuring 62 x 109mm the DMM Ghost carabiner is an excellent size for general purpose use.
