No good for a Grigri II

I can see where the designer was coming from with the twin gate mechanism but this Karabiner cannot be used with a few belay devices, notably the Petzl Grigri II - you simply can't get the Grigri over the gate unless you really persevere and twist it through at just the right angle!

I could return the product but I think I'll come to like the twin gate mechanism for use with a normal belay plate but even then its probably better suited to use at an indoor wall (its unlikely to get used outdoors especially on multi-pitch trad routes).

What do you think about that?
