By request of several paraglider- and harness manufacturers Thomas Finsterwalder have developed a lightweight and easy to operate paragliding karabiner with a conventional twist-lock, whose fatigue strength meets the test specification of a DHV-authorized testing institute. This specification is based on the karabiner load during flight, which was ascertained by the DHV in tests, and requires a proof of fatigue strength for a period of 5 years, allowing for safety factors which are common in engineering. Up to now, this proof has not been shown by any other karabiner manufacturer. ...more info !
