I love these things. I bought this rackpack to go with my brand new double rack of BD Camalots and quickly thought "I should have bought the OZ Rackpack." I told myself to use the Hoodwires on the cams as that's my my quickdraws and extendable runners are rigged with. After a good bit of use in NM, CO and OR I decided to lighten my rack with the OZ...turns out that I don't notice much and either way I'm just happy to have the functionality of the hood. Bottom line: These biners are so easy to... use and they don't snag on webbing, slings, nuts, or anything else. I hate using hoodless biners now...hate them. I LOVE THESE!
Bought these for racking biners and alpine draws. Definitely an upgrade from the Neutrinos- larger opening and better handling. Also look good too (not super important, but a nice bonus.
