Product Descriptions
Eastern Mountain Sports Description: The Wild Country Helium's unparalleled combination of extreme lightweight, high strength and 'Clean-wire' no hook nose make it the ultimate on-sighting biner and the quickdraw makes the best on-sighting draw too. The Helium QuickDraw is on superlight 10 mm Dyneema, and at a remarkable 73 g/2.57 oz. This makes it perfect for on-sighting on bolts or when you're on a big trad route and need plenty of kit. The clip-end is marked by red anodizing to make sure you keep any bolt damage away from the rope. A rubber 'O' ring to hold the clip end biner in place.Backcountry Description: The Wild Country Helium Clean Wire Quickdraw pairs two ultralight carabiners with an ultra-strong Dyneema sling for a burly, functional package that weights only 2.61oz. This quickdraw has full-size carabiners for easy clipping on hard sport routes, and the freeze-proof wire gates make them an excellent choice for use in the mountains. If you want lightweight draws but don't want to sacrifice performance, then the Wild Country Helium Clean Wire Quickdraw is ideal for you.
SummitHut Description: Whether your aspirations lie on steep bolted sport routes, big walls or frozen waterfalls, there is a Wild Country quick draw that has been designed especially for the job.
Retailer Reviews
Very fiddly and annoying to clip
I really didn't enjoy clipping these draws. They were so light and narrow-profile that they were a pain to use. They were a little harder to pull off a gearloop because they are so spindly. If you should happen to bump the bottom biner when clipping the rope into them, they bounce around a lot more than normal draws. Frustrating.I see a lot of people here talking about the weight savings, but how much will that affect you, the review-reader? I climb single pitch sport routes, so a little bit of weight savings won't mean squat to me. Unless you're loading up a ton of draws for super long pitches, I doubt the weight savings will mean anything to you either.
