In your pursuit of performance and reliability, the Carabiners are a cornerstone for ensuring safe progression on technical terrain. This catalog gathers safety carabiners, with different closures and stiffness ratings, designed for climbing, speleo (speléo) and canyoning. At Aristarun you’ll find high-performance options, with certifications and rigidity tests in kN, so that every rope maneuver remains safe without compromising weight.
Carabiners are a variant within our family of rope-safety products. Below are the options related to their differences:
They differ by their main function: Speleo and Canyon Harnesses are designed for fastening and load distribution, and not to act as rope closures like carabiners.
They differ by their function of descent control and braking, not by the rope connector; they are used together with locking carabiners for safety.
Dry bags are protective and storage accessories that are fixed with carabiners when transporting gear; they are not rope-connecting devices.
Helmets protect the head and their attachment with carabiners is done through straps and anchors; they are not used as rope connectors.
Webbing and rings are load-distribution and securing elements that are complemented by carabiners to close and secure anchor points.
For an expert runner, the selection should balance safety, weight and compatibility with the rest of the rope gear. Consider these parameters to optimize ascent and descent maneuvers without compromising the lightness of the equipment.
The locking carabiner adds a mechanism that prevents accidental openings under dynamic loads; the straight-gate model is lighter but requires manual verification of the closure before each maneuver.
For ropes of medium diameter, look for a gate opening that allows clipping without rubbing; 13–20 mm is usually suitable, depending on the fabric and the thread profile.
