Semi-circular

The DMM PerfectO is a compact true oval connector that minimises the eye-to-eye length whilst maintaining usability and easy one-handed use. Their shape provides effective centring of loads and the fully rounded rope bearing areas increase carabiner and rope longevity.

The DMM PerfectO Straight Gate is a true oval, compact karabiner that maintains the ease of use (even one-handed). Its shape provides effective centring of loads and the fully rounded rope bearing areas increase carabiner and rope longevity.

The DMM Ultra O is a karabiner with symmetrical rope baskets, this makes it ideal for assisted breaking devices, pulleys, swivels and shackles. Oval karabiners allow pulleys to sit in an equalised position, the symmetrical shape also lessens the chance of shifting under load and potentially dislodging a marginal gear placement. The Ultra O is the perfect climbing aid!

The Maillon Rapide Long Opening is a long oval shaped Maillon Rapide, the gate being longer than the standard. Available in galvanised or stainless steel, and in a number of different sizes (see drop down menu). These are ideal for rigging ropes in any situation where they will not be in view during use as they are much less likely than a karabiner to open accidentally. The downside is that they are slightly slower to use than a screw gate karabiner.

The Maillon Rapide Pear are ideal for rigging ropes in any situation where they will not be in view during use as they are much less likely than a karabiner to open accidentally. The downside is that they are slightly slower to use than a screw gate karabiner. The pear shape gives the rope room to run over the wider end. Available in galvanised or stainless steel, and in a number of different sizes (see drop down menu).

The Maillon Rapide Standard was developed on the principle of a chain link fitted with manual nut opening. This shape reflects the spirit of Maillon Rapide quick links connectors.
