Meet your new favorite clip, the 12kN Wire Gate Carabiner from Hemlock Mountain Outdoors. Built for adventurers, hammock-loungers, gear junkies, and “I-just-need-to-hang-this-here” types alike, this sleek D-shaped dynamo is all strength with no bulk.

Crafted from ultra-strong 7075 aviation-grade aluminum (yes, the same kind used in airplanes), each carabiner is finished with a smooth oxidation treatment for rugged durability and that clean, tactical look. Despite weighing in at just 22 grams, it’s rated to handle up to 12 kilonewtons (over 2,600 lbs of force), more than enough for your hammock suspension, gear rigging, or even heavy-duty fieldwork.

Available colors of Titanium, Orange, and Black, each carabiner features a smooth wire gate for easy clipping and unclipping, and a laser-etched Hemlock Mountain Outdoors logo to remind you it’s built to roam.
