Probably the ultimate solid gate, sport climbing quickdraw.
If you do a lot of sport climbing a solid gate karabiner makes sense as they are more robust than wiregates. Bolt hangers can be very unforgiving of lightweight krabs, particularly if you are dogging about and taking repeated redpoint falls.
The karabiners on the Alpha Sport are robust and strong enough to cope with the typical sport climbing scenarios and also have exceptional handling qualities due to the kinked back bone and grippy groove pattern on the apex of the spine. Very easy to handle “ something you will appreciate when stretching up to make that just-in-reach, gripper clip. They also use very tough and durable 26mm nylon webbing for extra longevity.
