Salewa Ortles Hms C.3 M Carabiner

Ortles HMS C.3 M Carabiner

The Ortles HMS C.3 M Carabiner is a strong carabiner with a screw lock. Made from lightweight, durable aluminum, this large, pear-shaped HMS carabiner is ideal for multiple knots or for securing with a half-hitch.

What sets it apart is the innovative locking system: the automatic closure features two functions that allow you to switch between modes depending on the situation. This provides the carabiner with both the simplicity and quick handling of a standard HMS carabiner, as well as the safety and protection of a category three carabiner when you need it.

Easy handling: In situations where higher safety is required, you can quickly and easily switch from the standard lock to the Pull-Twist Safelock system. The visually marked locking indicator is also immediately recognizable and offers an additional layer of safety.

At the same time, the carabiner is designed to open very wide, allowing for ideal rope and knot management, saving valuable time in alpine terrain. This is further supported by the tapered Keylock nose, which prevents snagging on ropes or slings. The design has also been refined by removing excess material while maintaining a wider contact area for the rope. This facilitates rope flow during securing and protects your gear at the same time.
