When is a carabiner not just a carabiner? When the James Brand makes it, of course. Taking the iconic droplet form of the classic carabiner, but overhauled with modern curves, the Hardin is made of forged 6063 aluminum and hides some tricks up its sleeve. The spring-loaded gate at the center creates two separate compartments, allowing for your keys and other gear to be locked in place while the upper region is free to clip to belt loops and backpack packs. Available in some fun, bright colors, it’s also a great accent to your gear.
