Aluminium carabiner for ropes.
OVALO – the yogi among the carabiners: Its oval form benefits the optimal position of the carabiner along its transverse axis and thus reduces dangerous transverse loading in every situation. Additionally, the round profile prevents the build-up of sharp edges due to rope friction and allows a fluid rope management.
Special feature of the OVALO ID 3-way autolock is its unique identification number [ID].
AustriAlpin carabiners are made entirely in Austria - these are the highest quality solutions and materials, as well as guaranteed durability and longevity. All carabiners are tested during production.

Standards that the carabiner meets:
EN 12275:2013 (H), EN 362:2009 (B), UIAA 121
Rules for caring for the carabiner:
Clean muddy/dirty carabiners with clean water, a washcloth and/or a soft brush.
Air Dry - Never dry on a strong heat source.
Every gear component where metal rubs against metal needs lubrication to keep it running smoothly. For carabiners, dry lubricant should be used instead of oil as commercially available oil will cause dust and dirt to build up. Grease should be applied to all holes when the carabiner is in both open and closed positions. Especially important: After use near or in the sea (where there is a high concentration of salt in the air and water), clean the carabiner immediately to avoid salt damage to the metal of the carabiner.
