Why it made the list
The best non-climbing clip made. Two gates, one on each end, both with a sliding lock, in stainless steel that shrugs off salt and rain. It is the fastener for everything that is not life-safety: zipper pulls, dry bags, dog leads, tarp corners, gear loops.
Pros
- Dual gates connect two items independently
- Sliding locks hold in wind and brush
- Stainless construction handles salt water and long-term exposure
Cons
- Accessory-rated only — never for climbing or life-safety loads
- Heavier than plastic or aluminum clips of the same size
Best uses
- Attaching gear to pack loops and dry bags
- Dog leads and boat gear
- Tarp corners and camp organization
