A top selling biner over the last few years, the very successful Oxygen gets a makeover.
OXYGEN QUICKDRAW - 12mm x 10cm DYNEEMA SLING
This new version gets the new Keylock nose and a more shapely finish for a better feel - and an 'open' shape combines with the 'Clean-lock' nose to make it a great biner for clipping, stripping or racking up. However, it still keeps a firm re-assuring feel for those who don’t want to go too far down the anorexic wiregate route.
The Oxygen has been designed with a traditional safe and solid, bent or straight gates to suit those who either don't want wires or want the convenience of this 'no-hook' nose at a more down to earth price than the Helium.
Obviously, the advantage of the Clean-lock no-hook nose is the same as on the Helium, ropes slings and wires are much easier to unclip from one off these units, and these biners are much easier to slide off your rack.
The Oxygen has also been designed to be a super strong unit and it certainly makes the grade with figures of 26 / 8 / 10 meaning you can choose it with confidence as a great all rounder with a bombproof finish.
The Oxygen QD makes a great all round unit. Its high strength combination of features, especially the easy clipping Keylock nose, mean it performs superbly across a variety of situations especially repoints.
The Oxygen quickdraws come in three sizes 10cm, 15cm&20cm and feature Wild Country's ultra reliable 12mm Dyneema Express slings for a balanced and solid feeling QD.
In addition all Oxygen quickdraws feature Wild Country's 'Tadpole' rubber ring which comes sewn into the rope clipping end of the QD to make sure your biner stays correctly orientated.
PLEASE NOTE - colour of sling may vary
Wild Country: At the Cutting Edge of Climbing
Wild Country have been at the cutting edge of climbing for 35 years.
Ever since the Friend was invented by U.S. climber Ray Jardine – who found a manufacturer in like-minded British-based enthusiast Mark Vallance – Wild Country have gone from strength to strength by creating the highest-quality rock climbing hardware on the planet.
Born in a tiny factory in the heart of the Peak district in 1977, Wild Country have been building their success on the back of the climbing world’s best Friend – shortly followed by their renowned Rock – ever since.
Their name is now synonymous with hard climbing, with higher safety margins and ease of placement top of their agenda.
Ray Jardine’s simple cam concept had been six years in the making before taking off on BBC’s Tomorrow’s World programme.
Just two years later they launched the Rock, the first ever curved nut which has become what is probably the best-selling piece of climbing equipment of all time.
The success of the Friend and the Rock has turned Wild Country into a legend, revolutionising the climbing world with a host of innovative ideas that have now become the industry standard.
