Nice vid. Pretty cool biners I think. Wouldnt mind getting a few of em. However, they won't be released until either Spring or Summer of 2012.
That's pretty cool. I wonder if grime would gump up the effectiveness of the magnets? Or if they would lose power over time? I'm not a magnet guru but they look awesome.
These look pretty awesome. Like most of you I'm definitely curious to see how they hold up to the rigors of testing
I got to play with some of these biners at the Outdoor Retailer show... let me just say, I'm thoroughly impressed with the design and how strong the magnets lock. :2thumbs: They're winning awards all over the place too.
Cool! Glad someone was able to test em. Too bad we gotta wait till next year to use emQuote:

So the rocklock biners finally arrived at backcountry.com and they are nice! They are sturdy! It will be fun to test out in a canyon environment.
I think these would be a debatable choice for water canyons.

Tried one last year ice climbing. Not a fan. Had a hard time with gloves and snow/ice getting the thing to open. Pain.
I'm guessing you were using the Gridlock version?Quote:
