| We've been around for more than twenty years, but if you don't know us by now, that's about to change. For years we've been quietly leading the way in carabiner design and manufacture. Just take a look at what we've done. Each of our carabiners has signature Omega features like: |
|
|
|
Fully-hooded gates (the "shroud" on the inside of all Omega gates that prevent rope shredding).
|
|
|
Flat spin rivets (the exclusive process that renders our gate rivets virtually flush to the gate itself, preventing any rough edges that might catch a rope).
|
|
Tapered noses (check out the nose of any Omega aluminum biner from the inside-out and you'll see that the nose has a 2.5-degree "wedge" shape to it; this makes the gate align more consistently with the nose long after the carabiner falls out of tune due to age and prolonged use ... it also provides more strength to the unit, as well).
|
|
Half load testing (the CE says we have to test to 10kN on each 'biner we sell, but we up the ante by proof-loading to half the rated strength of every carabiner we ship ... that means some of our biners are tested to 36kN)!
|
|
ISO Cold Forging (the proprietary technology that permits us to build hot-forged designs at cold-forged costs).
|
Just as we perfected our carabiner designs, we also paid attention to our manufacturing processes, focusing on quality control and efficiency. That means our carabiners are rigidly controlled through every step of manufacturing to ensure consistent quality; when they make it to your favorite store, they're affordable.
In 2000, we expanded our line beyond carabiners, and we take our commitment and passion for efficiency to passive protection systems, belay devices, ice protection, ice tools and beyond. No matter which Omega product you purchase, we guarantee that it will deliver Performance, Quality and Value beyond your expectations.
