Black Diamond Positron Straight Gate Carabiner

A couple of years ago Black Diamond set out to create a state-of-the-art biner that’s both superbly clippable and easily cleanable. The result? The new Positron…and boy are you gonna love it. With a “dual-trac” gate that’s equipped with two railed edges and a broad, faceted surface—you can kiss finger slippage goodbye and consider hard clips a non-issue from now on. We’ve paired this unique gate with a keylock nose, so that snag-ridden route-cleaning experiences are now a thing of the past. The Positron’s functional shape is easy to hold—and its bow back, smooth spring and deep basket make it the most versatile clipping, racking and anchoring biner you’ll ever get your hands on.
