DMM Shadow HMS Carabiner

Yes, the basket is specifically designed to be deep and wide, allowing you to comfortably accommodate up to three clove hitches at once. This makes it an excellent choice for complex anchor setups and multi-rope rigging.

The Locksafe mechanism is a triple-action locking gate that requires three distinct movements—slide, twist, and pull—to open. It is designed to prevent accidental opening, offering a high level of security for critical tasks like belaying.

At 76 grams, the Shadow HMS is relatively lightweight for a full-sized HMS carabiner. While it is not an ultralight model, it balances durability and strength without feeling cumbersome during long days at the crag.

The gate opening is 22 mm. DMM uses a short gate design to maximize this clearance, which makes clipping ropes and gear significantly easier compared to carabiners with standard gate geometries.

Absolutely. Its HMS shape is specifically designed to work well with most belay devices, providing enough room for the rope to move smoothly and ensuring the carabiner stays properly oriented during use.
