Yates and Pensafe have developed an offset aluminum oval carabiner. It is the first aluminum oval that will be certified to NFPA 1983 "T",ANSI/ASSE Z359.12 -2019 and CSA Z259.12 to become commercially available. 

Twist lock gate opening, the standard colors will be a grey back with either a blue barrel.
The offset gate will open on an angle so it is not in line with the back, allowing a smaller hook with a bigger opening.

We are planning commercial availability for January of 2021.
