FORAS STEEL: paragliding carabiner – ideal for modern, narrow webbings

Thanks to the use of steel, the carabiner can better withstand cyclical loads with higher forces than its aluminum counterpart, making it ideal for tandem and acro paragliding. An automatic Twist-Lock closure gate guarantees best possible handling, and a batch number with manufacture date provides a simple check on lifespan.  Rounded edges make sure the FORAS looks after your riser fabric  and the Antitwist (20071), specially developed for the Foras, is preventing the carabiner from unwanted rotation and the straps from slipping during use. Every single example is machine-tested before it leaves the EDELRID plant.
