A set of 2 strong and lightweight karabiners that are perfect for suspending your DD Hammock.
DD Hammocks says
Rated to 7KN each, these wire-gate karabiners are incredibly lightweight for the strength being offered. Each karabiner weighs only 22g, and are small in size; no more bulky suspension kits to add to your pack size!
Tired of tying knots? Use the karabiners along with DD Tree Huggers and DD Whoopie Slings and you can simply clip & unclip your hammock from between the trees in seconds, perfecting your hang angle in the process.
These karabiners will also act as a drip-stop in heavy rain, breaking the flow of any water that might travel down your suspension lines. Also handy for other campsite uses - for example securing your tarp ridgelines, attaching tarps together, or clipping your favourite accessories to your rucksack!
Our Verdict
These ultra light, strong karabiners are a really useful addition to the hammock set-up. DD Hammocks suggest that by attaching one to the webbing at either end of your hammock, they act as drip lines, preventing water running down the webbing onto the hammock in heavy rain.
They also allow you to quickly unclip/clip up your hammmock if space is needed under your tarp during the day etc. And of course, they make it quicker to set-up/pack up your hammock.
If your not using it with a hammock, there are plenty of other uses for these handy karabiners.
