The Bionic Mytholito HMS carabiner works great for alpine use: minimum weight, small size and still fully usable for HMS belaying and all other safety devices.

Mammut Bionic Mytholito Carabiner Reviews:
Positive Reviews:
After much research, I purchased some of these to replace my heavy, bulky Petzl Attache lockers. First off, I would be lying if I said their totally badass design didn't influence my purchase. Now, on to reviewing...
Strength-wise they are on-par with the Attaches, give or take a kilonewton. However, they are almost half the weight. The specs really don't give Mammut enough credit for how light these are. At 58g (verified), they are lighter than many of my non-locking carabiners. I love watching the stunned expressions on my friends' faces when they feel how nutty light they are.
Both the nose and carabiner body are significantly narrower than on the Attache. I found this made them easier to clip, especially when clipping anchor chains on sport routes. The gate requires more force to open than the Attaches, but is easy to hold open, and snaps shut sharply when released. It does not chafe against the nose at all, even after use and cross-loading (which is difficult to do with the carabiner shape). Operating the locking sheath remains silky smooth, even after repeated use at dusty crags.
The only downside? The gate opening is pathetically small... about 1cm less than the Attaches. However, for racking slings or pulleys, tying knots, or building anchors, it is plenty wide enough.
I got this biner primarily to use for my belay device. However, I've used for all sorts of things, and have learned that its light weight and spacious opening make it great for other things like bolting, rigging and multipitch climbing. It has a very high-quality feel, with smooth action in all moving parts. Plus, like the others said, it looks cool.
good product, small gate
Really light and handy carabiners and they look good. they unscrew and lock easily . nothing negative i could say about this carabiner. Bought these and the HMS size and both are phenomenal.
This biner is easy to lock/loosen, pretty light and the gate opens/closes nice and smooth after 2+ years of repeated use. Gets the job done.
I use this for my belay carabiner works great.Swiss quality that says it all.
