The Omega Pacific's ISO Cold Forged Standard Oval Locking Carabiner is a real technological challenge. Because of the shape, the load is shared equally between the spine and gate sides of the carabiner, which typically results in lower strength ratings. However, with Omega's exclusive ISO Cold Forging process, they are able to compensate by shifting material and putting aluminum where it needs to be to reinforce the frame. Compare for yourself and you'll see that Omega has one of the strongest oval carabiners on the market. At 22 kN, it's 4 kN higher than other ovals, which means their oval is one you can rely on for everyday, all-around use.
