Price: $7.95

Who it's for: Climbers and alpinists focused on saving weight who primarily rack gear — cams, ice screws, or rescue systems — rather than clipping and cleaning on lead. Less suited to followers or anyone who needs easy one-handed operation in a hurry.
What people are saying: Hosts consistently praise the low weight and surprisingly usable gate for a micro carabiner, including with gloves on. One host flags that the small size can be awkward for followers cleaning gear, and suggests a larger wiregate like the Photon Wire for clipping-friendliness.
Worth noting: The small size is the main caveat — functional for racking and organization tasks, but noted as potentially fiddly for followers.

Philip Burnett's review

I really like these on my ice screws, but they might be small for some followers. The Photon Wire or similar carabiner is a little more clipping and cleaning friendly.

What other hosts are saying

4 experts recommend the Camp C.A.M.P. Nano 22 Wiregate Carabiner.

Jason Antin, IFMGA/AMGA Mountain Guide | Avalanche Educator | Mountain Performance Coach

One of the lightest functional carabiners on market. I use these carabiners to rig crevasse rescue systems and to store cordage, gloves and ski crampons while on the move.

Cora Hanson, AMGA Single Pitch Instructor

I rack all of my cams on these because of how light and easy to clip they are.

Recommended in Top Rope Anchors

Clara Maynard, AMGA Apprentice Rock/Alpine Guide & Wilderness Medicine Instructor

The lightest carabiners that I can actually operate with gloves on. I use these for racking to save some weight. They are small, but I feel like they are the least funky micro carabiners to clip.
