Edelrid Alias 2 - Paragliding Carabiner

Edelrid Alias 2 – Lightweight Paragliding Carabiner with Twist-Lock Closure

The Edelrid Alias 2 is a high-quality aluminum paragliding carabiner that combines low weight, high strength, and reliable handling. Weighing just 58 g and featuring a breaking load of 23 kN, this lightweight harness carabiner is ideal for paragliders who value safety, quality, and weight-optimized gear.

Thanks to its special design and practical twist-lock closure, the Edelrid Alias 2 allows for comfortable clipping in and out of the paraglider risers.

Maximum strength with minimal weight

The Edelrid Alias 2 is manufactured using a special hot-forging process. Its innovative H-profile design ensures optimal force transmission and high load-bearing capacity while keeping the weight low.

The characteristic double S-shaped curve reduces the risk of the carabiner rotating into an undesirable transverse orientation. This ensures that the connection between the harness and the paraglider risers remains optimally positioned.

Twistlock closure for easy handling

The proven Twistlock safety latch allows for quick and easy opening and closing. The integrated keylock nose prevents lines or harness loops from getting snagged when clipping in or out.

With a 12 mm gate opening, the Edelrid Alias 2 carabiner is suitable for harnesses with webbing widths ranging from 20 to 40 mm.
