Here's what other sites are saying:
From Campmor:
"The Doval is an ideal all-around carabiner. Its modified oval shape makes it great for smooth loading with minimal shifting. The wire gate saves weight, and is a joy to clip. Wires are also much less prone to filling with ice and freezing shut during winter climbing. Smooth and wide curves are kind and gentle to your rope. Weight: 1.3oz (37g). Color: Red. Strengths Major axis: 25Kn Gate open: 7Kn Minor axis: 7Kn"
From Moosejaw:
"Omega Pacific ISO Cold Forged Doval Carabiner (Fall 2009) The ISO Cold Forged Doval Carabiner by Omega Pacific introduces an entirely new category of carabiner! At 37gm, it's a featherweight (shave pounds off your rack by trading up!) and the Ovalized-D frame means you can stack them and reverse the gates just like on ovals and regular D's. With 25mm of gate clearance, it's a perfect clipping carabiner. Its wide rope-bearing surface is a true radius, which means there aren't any flat spots in the interior to wreck your ropes. Finally, an all-mountain wire gate. Versatile, Functional, and Affordable.Specs: Gate Opening (mm/inch): 25 / .984 Major-Axis Strength: 25 kN Gate Open Strength: 7kN Minor-Axis Strength: 7kN Weight (grams/ounces): 37 / 1.30 Length (mm/inch): 92.2 / 3.63 Width (mm/inch): 53.1 / 2.09"
From REI:
"Finally, an all-mountain wiregate biner. This lightweight workhorse combines the benefits of a wiregate with an ovalized-D frame. In addition to reducing weight, the wiregate design provides wide gate clearance, a larger rope-bearing surface, and simple, reliable performance. Ovalized-D shape allows you to stack them and reverse the gates just like on ovals and regular Ds. Functional frame shape also allows for all-mountain duties like rigging 'biner brake raps, alpine clutches and aiding. At only 37 grams, this little gem could save some major weight on your rack!"
From Ramsey Outdoor:
"Omega Pacific wanted a carabiner that had all the benefits of a wire gate design light, simple, reliable, and strong . . . But, they wanted a shape that could pull some all-mountain duty like rigging ?biner brake raps, alpine clutches . . . something you could aid on without that scary shifting as you load your aiders.Trouble is, no such carabiner existed - anywhere. So, they built the Doval and introduced an entirely new category of carabiner! At 37gm, it?s a featherweight (shave pounds off your rack by trading up!) and the Ovalized-D frame means you can stack them and reverse the gates just like on ovals and regular D?s. With 25mm of gate clearance, it?s a perfect clipping carabiner. Its wide rope-bearing surface is a true radius, which means there aren?t any flat spots in the interior to wreck your ropes. Finally, an all-mountain wire gate. Versatile, Functional, and Affordable."
