- Who it's for
- Sport climbers who want durable, easy-to-clip draws at a mid-range price point. Hosts suggest carrying 12 total (mix of 11cm and 17cm) for longer routes.
- What people are saying
- Hosts consistently praise the easy clipping, ergonomic carabiners, and durability across hard routes and multiple years of use. One host notes a preference for lighter or alpine draws on trad/multipitch, and another ranks them second to the Petzl Spirit Draws.
- Worth noting
- Available in 11, 17, and 25cm lengths. Not the lightest option, so those prioritizing weight savings for trad or multipitch may want to look elsewhere.
Cora Hanson's review
These quickdraws are super durable and are also easy to clip while working hard routes. I carry 12 of these total (eight of them are 11cm and four of them are 17cm), and this link allows you to choose from different lengths including 11, 17, or 25cm. I always recommend having 12 quickdraws total if you want to be able to climb longer sport routes, or if you want to have two climbers set up two shorter routes at the same time!

Easy to grab when hang dogging

These are some of the best quickdraws for their price on the market. The carabiners are easy to clip, ergonomic, and rack well on your harness. The dogbone is easy to grab if needed, and the blue color is a nice touch. These draws will last you multiple years. They are not too heavy, and work well for almost any type of climbing, although I mainly use them for sport climbing, and prefer lighter draws or alpine draws for trad/multipitch.
