The Omega Pacific Standard Oval Carabiner features an exclusive ISO Cold Forging process, that shifts material and puts aluminum where it needs to be to reinforce the frame of the oval carabiner. Compare for yourself and you'll see that the Omega Pacific Oval Carabiner is one of the strongest oval carabiners on the market. At 22kN, it is 4kN higher than other ovals, which means you can rely on it for everyday, all-around use.
