Loading... Please wait...At last a really lightweight, yet rope friendly hot forged belay biner.
Once again the I-Beam construction comes into its own by allowing DMM to combine strength, lightness and function to give an easy to handle biner, that offers great working space, with an excellent rope bearing radius.

A nice compact and lightweight HMS, the rope runs though a device and this biner nicely. It saves a few grams than my older hms, which all helps in keeping my rack lighter.

HMS karabiners are a key part of every rack. For your belay device, for direct belays and anchor-building you always want an HMS. But all those large pieces of metal add up to a lot of weight.
The sentinels solve that problem, coming in at just 55g. The shape is nice and provides just enough space for direct belays with a single rope. The size is quite small but it's enough for most situations.
Conclusions:
Great lightweight choice to replace the big old pear-shaped HMS. Great choice for scrambling and mountaineering when you want a compact and lightweight rack.
