AustriAlpin Rocket

The ROCKET is a light aluminium carabiner for narrow paragliding harnesses. Equipped with the Slide Autolock gate it is easy-to-use, yet very safe. Being THE lightweight amongst all AUSTRIALPIN paragliding carabiners, the ROCKET is a must-have for hike`n`fly, run`n`fly, climb`n`fly and ski`n`fly enthusiasts.

The carabiner’s gate has been designed to minimize gate play when closed. This minimizes the negative effects of constant vibration stress on the carabiner. The Slide Autolock allows for reliable locking without lock manipulation, yet it can be opened easily by just pressing the slider.

The ROCKET may only be used for solo flights. The corresponding marking on the carabiner is the abbreveation “mono”. Due to its shape, the ROCKET carabiner is designed only for the use of leashes and webbings with a maximum width of 14 mm for the upper carabiner side and 20 mm webbings for the lower, more narrow side.

The maximum service life is reached after 1500 flight hours or 5 years from first use.

• D- form for ideal lengthwise positioning of straps
• Intentionally small gate perfectly copes with vibrational loads.
• 2-way automatic slidelock for easy clipping in and out of straps
• compatible with AustriAlpin Tanga, which keeps the carabiner in place
