The Astro is smaller carabineer than the Wild Country Nitro, which is itself a version of the ever popular Helium.

The Astro is smaller than the Nitro and Helium Carabiners, yet still is a very functional size and sits well in the hand. It is an I Beam design so excess weight is reduced where possible, whilst retaining the strength required. In fact the Astro is the lightest of the Wild County Crabs so far, and only weighs 29g.

The gate action is solid and reassuring, and it has a really good size gate opening for a smaller sized biner. It also has a hooded nose to aid clipping. Finally we feel that the Astro comes in at a competitive price, which is good as this crab could well be a staple snap gate on anybodies rack, so a fair number may be required.
