The original wiregate is back this year, featuring an anodized body in one of four colors and a lower price. The HotWire continues to maintain its reputation as one of the most versatile biners around -- a result of its wire gate. Unlike conventional biners, the HotWire's gate is made of stainless spring steel, a material that is significantly stronger than traditional aluminum gates. Not only is this wire gate stronger, it resists gate whiplash and is less prone to freezing on ice climbs. Wiregate biners work well for all kinds of climbing, including on gear routes, alpine or aid lines. Also, the anodized HotWire can be used on both ends of a quickdraw. |
