The FS Mini Carabiner by Metolius - Metolius has become synonymous with pushing the boundaries of gear design and our new FS Mini is a prime example. These rigs are very strong, extremely lightweight and reduce rack volume by an incredible amount. After a few uses, you'll find them easier to clip than full-size biners!

"Product is great, lightweight and small for convenience, but yet as strong as Hercules!" 09/20/12

I purchased two of these carabiners for my eno double nest hammock (also a great buy) buy one if you haven't already. But anyways I got them solely for the hammock and loved how light and small they are so I purchased a couple more to use for my nalgene bottle and for my climbing shoes. I have also used one on a quick draw that was missing a biner. Overall anytime I want a new biner for anything I find myself ordering more minis.

"Lifesaver" 12/26/11

Bought a pair of these to attach to my mountainsmith fanny to ensure my water bottles stay secure. I've used them bouldering, hiking, music festivaling and traveling. Still have my water bottles - well, aside from the one that my buddy "borrowed," dang.

"You'll notice a difference that's for sure" 09/12/11

Replacing your entire rack with FS Mini's will be noticeable. And not by a little bit, the other thing you'll notice is your fluffy 10.7mm rope wont work so well anymore. They clip my 9.5 quite well however. If you've got big hands like me then forget about a smooth clip and just use them on the bolt end of quickdraws. Being even small than the C.A.M.P. Nano23 and not shaving off that much weight, combined with my ape hands made them a bit fiddly I must admit.

"Small, Light, and fully funtional (In its own right)" 08/15/11

I have medium-large sized hands and find these things simple to clip, even when pumped. Forget the traditional technique. You have to "grab" the entire biner by its spine. Basically palming it...then complete the clip. This keeps the biner sturdy, and your finger isnt in the way of the gate. They are tiny. Dont expect to tie a clove onto it with a 11mm static rope. lol But they work wonderfully on your cams. If you dont need to extend the cam with a draw....clip it! You may get a lil more rope drag then a normal sized biner. This "could" cause your cams to walk a lil more then usual, so be aware of this. When in doubt, extend it out.

"small but light" 07/21/11

these are superlight crabs and get a bit of getting used to and may be fiddly for people with larger hands. for me they are fine and the weight savings are a big plus!

"Not good for leading" 12/02/10

These suck to clip. I have thin fingers and I often find myself pumped and fidgeting with them. The small camp version is better and cheaper.

"tiny, light, but a pain at times" 10/26/10

first off, love this biner, very lightweight, and compliments a rack of ultralight tcus very well, i never leave the ground on lead without them. like most other products, they have their ups and downs, the ups are, as mentioned, they are very light weight, and clip smaller ropes very easy(like <10.3 your good to go) thats not to say they wont do a larger rope, its just more difficult. cons are they can be a difficult to clip if your mega pumped and looking for a fast clip, and they are kinda a pain to clean, but hey, thats your seconds problem, not yours!buy 6, buy 12, enjoy the rocks!

"tiny, light, but a pain at times" 10/26/10

Let me first off say that i love this carabiner, i bought 6 of them to go on my ultralight tcus, which makes a super lightweight combination that i never leave the ground on lead without. they do clip pretty well with a smaller rope(<10.2) the gate, though angled very well for clipping, is quite tiny, which can be an issue when your pumped and looking for a quick clip.probably the biggest issue i have is that because of the gate size, cleaning can be an issue, other than that mad props doug phillips, awesome product, amazing strength in such a small package, very glad they came out with the different colors! buy 6, buy 12, enjoy the rocks!
