KL120 ISC Compact Oval Carabiner: A Closer Look
The KL120 Compact Oval carabiner, crafted by ISC, is a powerhouse of efficiency packed into a palm-sized design. Measuring just 70mm (2 3/4") in working length, this compact marvel is the perfect solution where a streamlined, space-saving system is key.

The knurled grip is replaced with a new CNC-machined grip detail, providing an improved grip for the user.
