Climbing Technology quick draws

Climbing Technology is an Italian brand with a full range of sport climbing to mountainering products with a focus on Technology. We have tested two of their seven quick draws; Aerial Pro (81 grams) and Passion Pro (89 grams). They also have their extreme 56 grammer, Fly-weight. Grabbing light-weight quick draws is normally rather painful but the good thing with the Climbing Technology quick draws is that lower carabiner has a rather oval shape. Beside the weight, the ywo quick draws are very similar in performance. Further more, the upper carabiner has a catch free nose making it easier to unclick them cleaning a steep route. When it comes to clipping in the rope, for some reason it feels better than most on the market but why it is like this, I can not explain. I guess it is just a personal preference. Price was, Climbing Technologys quick draws are in the mid range and for a pack of five you can buy them for around Euro 14 per piece.
