Captive Eye Advantage
The captive eye design provides a fixed, non-rotating connection point that eliminates the need for additional hardware while ensuring consistent orientation. Unlike standard carabiners that can rotate freely, the captive eye maintains proper loading alignment, making it ideal for permanent connections to harness belay loops, lanyard ends, and anchor points. This design reduces the risk of cross-loading and ensures the carabiner remains in the strongest orientation during use.
Important Safety Information: This carabiner is designed for climbing, rigging, and rescue applications and must be used in accordance with manufacturer instructions and applicable safety standards. Always inspect before each use for wear, damage, cracks, gate function, or deformation. Ensure proper training in climbing and rigging systems before use. Replace immediately if dropped from height or subjected to impact loading.
