This new carabiner represents the latest in the evolution of Omega's Omegalite series. Now in it's fifth generation, they've answered climbers' needs for a carabiner that fits well in your hands, has a huge gate opening, and features a rope-friendly True Radius. Once again, they utilize their exclusive process known as ISO Cold Forging to build a hot-forged design at a reasonable, cold-forged cost.

The Five-O frame is versatile and tractable. It is functional in any of your favorite gate configurations: straight, bent, locking or wire ... whatever your preference, it is, the Five-O fits the bill. It's large enough that you can work routes with it; grab the bottom carabiner on a draw and you can still clip your cord. For Ice Climbing, even bulky gloves don't inhibit your ability to clip it.
