snap links are fine for hammcoks - lighter and cheaper. Might be worth looking at those instead.

[Pepperana]

I am interested in a couple. 5 or so.

[oakhill_wanderer]

I'm going to let this run untill the end of the month and see where we are at then. If there's not enough interest I'm going to have to shut this down. I shall update the opening post with current takers and quantities etc.

I have just purchased a pair of these and have to say that they are great! Excellent build quality as you would expect from Petzl.

@EdS - Personally I prefere krabs, as do a fair amount of people on here, hence the idea of a group buy. Especially as these ones are black, and so are a little more inconspicuous etc. I'm sure there's plenty of threads knocking around with the pros and cons of various attachment techniques though.

i would take 4 mate ..

[oakhill_wanderer]

not a problem, you are on the list!

[oakhill_wanderer]

This is a shameless bump to make people aware of the new lower pricing that is now detailed in the opening post.

[Pepperana]

Have to go from 5 to 3 Oakh.
Sorry.

Can I be cheeky and ask how much RRP is on these? I'm needing a couple for my hammock setup but at tenner a pop I might have to wait till payday rolls around before I can justify the expense. When are you thinking of placing the order?

RV Ops has them for GBP 12.25

I have a few of these Petzl oval karabiners in my kit as they are really useful with a pulley for cravasse rescues and hauling in general. As karabiners go they are nice.. The red indicator lets you know if you've left the gate undone...

I've not used them Hammocking...

[wattsy]

just get a couple of maillions loads cheaper and pretty much the same

[oakhill_wanderer]

@pepperana - no worries mate, updated accrdingly.

@highbinder - looking to order around the first week in September

@wattsy - I used to have a couple of maillions, and by buddy still does. I found them very good indeed, but a little on the heavy side, and the screw gates were sometimes a pain with cold/wet fingers! I'm sure everyone has their own preference, and their reasoning behind it. There's bound to be a million threads knocking about with the pros and cons of various attachment methods.

Now then, back to business! any more for anymore?

[gsfgaz]

oak , i'll need ti pull out off this mate.. sorry bud

[Silverhill]

I'll take two. I'm gonna swap my maillons for something lighter, and dare I say, stronger.

[oakhill_wanderer]

@gsfgaz - no worries mate, updated accordingly

@Silverhill Forge - you'll definitely feel the benefit of not having 2 lumps of steel in your pack :)

[oakhill_wanderer]

Appologies for not sorting this sooner - it seems the email notification system has been a little hit and miss lately!

I'm going to pull this now as it looks like there wont be any more interest!

I'll mail you guys privately with payment details etc

[Highbinder]

Seeing as this has been pulled, may I suggest a set of Camp Nano 23s ? They're wire gate climbing rated biners but only weigh 23g
