DMM Phantom Carabiner - 5 Pack reviews and deals for sale

Perfect size

This is the sweet spot between the photon full size goodness and the nano's uber light weight tinyness. Perfect for me whom wants to rack up light and rock some uber light alpine draws. The colors don't match up with the metolius scheme. Whatever though. Gate action is stiff. No fancy snap like the petzl djinn and spirits. Not complaining anyways.

nice light biner

I have more faith in DMM than CAMP so when I need a light biner I generally go with the phantom which is reasonably priced, light and strong. However, much of my rack is made up of the Alpha light, which is a little heavier and costs more.

Perfect

These little biners are perfect for racking cams. Lightweight, nice gate action, and the anodizing seems pretty durable. My gear sling has reinforced loops like a harness so snagging isn't an issue. If you use a sling that snags, DMM makes their clean nosed Alpha Trad and Alpha light in color packs as well. Phantom is the perfect biner for my use.

Awesome little biners

I got a couple of these to make some draws out of some spare bones i had and they make for THE lightest draws i have awesome colors and smooth gate and no issues with clipping

Best small carabiner

For a small carabiner this has really good gate action. It's not so stiff and dead feeling like some others. The gate size is not big, but plenty big to clip a rope easily. I'll be buying more to rack gear and keep the weight down.

The best BD Camalot #0.5-3 companion

These lightweight binners are the best BD Camalot #0.5-3 companion - have the same colors and weight much less then BD Neutrino. The gate clearance is pretty good.

Best Racking Biner Out There

These biners directly compete with BD Neutrinos. When comparing wieght they are 26g which is 10g lighter than neutrinos. The only biners that are lighter are CAMP 23s or Metolius F.S. Mini both of which are smaller than this biner. Strength wise these biners also have stronger open gate strength. From a subjective point of view I find the gates to operate smoother and the bright… read more anodizing makes them look cool and stand out on your rack. The only downside is the price which I overcame when they where 20% off.

Great Racking Biner!

I bought a set of these for a few of my doubles sizes. The rest of my cams are on DMM Spectre biners. The first thing I noticed about these biners was how small they are. Don't be fooled, they are small. The second thing I noticed was their awesome design and clear/fluid gate action. These carabiners are very easy to use. At first I thought that their small size would make them… read more difficult to clip, but after taking them out a couple times I started reaching for these before my Spectres for easy clipping. These may not be the best multi purpose wiregate out there, but for those looking for a fantastic racking biner that is lightweight and clips well, the Phantom is king.

Nice for anal retentive racking

Nice 'biners that come in a useful set of colors for coding up a rack, lighter than the BD Neutrinos, just a tad bit smaller than a Trango Superfly. For general purpose use I'd go with something cheaper or regular sized though.

Nothing special

Nice fit and finish. Small carbiner, good for those long approaches. The big problem is the big price. Suggest a Wild Country Astro to save some $. I don't mind a few extra grams, and prefer a regular sized carabiner, so I go with WC Heliums or Nitros.

Hi Im debating on DMM Spectres 2 and DMM...

Hi Im debating on DMM Spectres 2 and DMM Phantoms. I want them to be my ultimate trad alpine-quickdraws biners. I want them to be light and functional. Both are light but i cant make up my mind which ones should I buy. Is it much of a difference between those or is it more like getting use to it issue?

Hey I wanted to buy colour biners as...

Hey I wanted to buy colour biners as carriers on a gear sling for my Black Diamond C4 Cams and I have two questions: 1. If they really fit the colour of the C4 cams I mean if the yellow is yeallow, not greenish etc? 2. Which biner would be better for only carrying C4 cams - spectre 2 colour or this phantom since the phantoms are lighter (but smaller) - they will fit the sling which… read more is connected with C4's handles?
