Product description
Versatile and light - the Kestrel from Ocun! This snap-gate carabiner is very compact and will fit great in your hand. Thanks to the wire gate, it is not only extremely light but also unsusceptible to cold temperatures, so it won't freeze up. Thus, the carabiner is perfect for ice climbing, alpine climbing, sport climbing and a variety of other activities. Plus, the wire gate eliminates gate flutter in the event of a fall, giving you that extra bit of safety. The set includes a total of six of these tough little biners.Note: The set consists of a random assortment of colours.

The kestrel weighs 25g. A similar price ranged carabiner weighs 43g. That's 18 grams saved. It doesn't sound like much but when you have 16 slings for multipitch you'll need 32 of them (16*2) which then becomes 0.576 kg (18g*32) saved.

They just arrived so I have yet to field test them.
I am using them as color coded wire-gates for my dragon cams cam. They are a little on the small side in terms of gate gap but that shouldn't be a problem.
In therms of weight they are light but not particularly light for their size, each feels about as heavy as the slightly larger DNM Spectre 2 depicted in the picture.
