Edelrid HMS Bulletproof 3 Way Carabiner - Black

Edelrid HMS Bulletproof 3 Way Carabiner - Black

The Edelrid HMS Bulletproof 3 Way Carabiner - Black is a robust and innovative HMS carabiner designed for professional climbing and rope management where durability and smooth handling are essential. Its defining feature is a steel insert positioned at the apex, which helps protect the carabiner from premature wear caused by rope movement or repeated contact with bolt hangers. This design provides a practical balance between longevity and reduced weight compared to a full steel carabiner.

Steel insert for extended service life

The integrated steel insert at the apex is specifically designed to prevent the formation of burrs or sharp edges that can occur through prolonged rope friction. By reinforcing the high-wear area, the Bulletproof design supports consistent performance over time while helping protect ropes from damage. This construction also makes the carabiner a lighter alternative to traditional steel carabiners in applications such as top-roping.

Large HMS geometry with secure triple lock

The HMS shape provides generous internal space for rope handling, belaying, and stance management. A wide 24 mm gate opening supports efficient clipping, while the triple-lock closure offers secure automatic locking for professional use. The keylock nose ensures smooth clipping and unclipping without snagging on ropes or hardware, supporting confident handling during repeated operations.

Lightweight strength and certified performance

Constructed from aluminium with a steel insert, the carabiner uses H-profile construction to achieve an efficient balance of strength and reduced weight. It delivers a major axis strength of 25 kN, a minor axis strength of 9 kN, and an open gate strength of 9 kN. With overall dimensions of 110 mm in length and 89 mm in width, it remains compact for an HMS format. The carabiner is certified to EN 12275, EN 362, and UIAA 121 standards, confirming suitability for recognised climbing and PPE applications.
