DMM Shadow Quickdraw

The Shadow quickdraw is a medium/large carabiner set that performs flawlessly on all types of climbing, but really comes into it's own on sports routes and in this environment it is probably the best draw on the market.

DMM have manufactured the Shadow series from a new alloy which when combined with our I-beam hot-forging technology gives incredible strength - the Shadow features a massive 10kn 3 sigma rated gate open strength.

The Shadow incorporates a shrouded, keylock nose to avoid the carabiner snagging on tapes or bolts, which is particulally useful when stripping steep routes or when the biner is used for racking gear.

The body of the Shadow has been beefed up in key areas so that it can cope with the stresses involved in repeated dogging /redpointing sessions - not only does it function beautifully, but it is a real workhorse.

The straight gate incorporates a CNC'ed finger recess to make clips fast and secure. The bent gate has a deep curve to make clipping as easy as possible, but by careful alignment of the nose and gate we have also minimised the possibility of the rope unclipping itself when accidentally back-clipped.

Ergonomically this biner just feels right and clipping is really easy. The inside of the biner has a really deep basket so that the rope is guided towards the spine for added safety and we have, as usual, adjusted the spring tension on the gate to minimise the chances of gate flutter occuring.

The Shadow is completely anodised to help combat corrosion and prolong life in hot, damp or salty enviroments.

The draws come on colour coded 11mm dyneema in 12cm, 18cm and 25 cm lengths and all have a rubber tadpole on the rope end to keep the biner orientated correctly.

This is a beautiful biner set that is the new benchmark for performance and safety.
