The classic oval shape is ideal for racking and eliminates dreaded 'biner shift while aid climbing. The OvalWire's wire gate cuts weight to a mere 1.6oz and resists freezing on ice climbs."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Black Diamond Oval Wire : Classic designs evolve and that’s why Black Diamond created a wiregate version of their tried and true Oval. The OvalWire is lighter and thinner while providing the same no-biner-shift benefit on those A4 hookfests.
