Pick up the April/May issue of Gripped to read the full reviews.
Clepsydra Twin Gate
The Clepsydra Twin Gate carabiner features the safety of twin gate technology, and also adds an internal wire-gate that attached the carabiner to the belay loop and prevents cross-loading.
Salamander Helmet
Grivel's Salamander helmet provides protection for rock, alpine, and ice climbing. The helmet is extremely light (13.6 ounces), and although it only comes in one size, offers an extremely customizable fit.
Shield
The Shield harness accessory from Grivel takes climbing harness comfort to a whole new level. The rubber shield plate attaches to the harness with velcro and helps the energy that is generally concentrated in one small area during a fall, thus preventing both pain and injury.
