PaulG Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Ok i just got my new Indi Dog walking belt but i have descovered a small problem..... The heavy Karabiner suplied was not made for men Husky on a loose lead shook and jumped and oh boy does it hurt when the heavy weight slaps you in the crotch area...... So any rock climbers out there able to recommend a light weight alloy Karabiner and good online store to buy it from as most do not say how heavy the hook is just how much weight it can take before it breaks.

Andy Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Hi Paul these are the ones I use https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07N7FN2MK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 lightweight at only 80 grams but "proper" climbing Carabiners with snap-lock closures twist to open, release and they auto snap closed. Strong enough that my two on the same carabiner can be lunging crazy because they've seen a deer in the field and no chance of them breaking it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 We’ve had walking belts for years and I honestly can’t say I’d even considered this possibility before. You learn something new every day! I’ll have to ask my Paul if he’s ever been beaten in a sensitive area by the karabiner before. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
