A carabiner (1) is provided comprising a substantially C- frame (2) having a first end (3) and a second end (4), at least an internal gate (5) and an external gate (6). The frame (2) the internal gate (5) and the external gate (6) define a continuously enclosed inner region (8) in a closed configuration. Each of the gates (5, 6) has a pivot (5h, 6h) on one of the first and second end (3, 4). The gates are configured so as to be opened with respect to the frame (2) in view of a rotation about the respective pivot (5h, 6h), one in a first direction towards the inner region (8) and one in a second direction opposite to the first direction. Biasing means (5b, 5c, 6b, 6c) are provided to bias the gates in a closed position. Preferably the internal gate (5) is pivotably coupled to the frame at a first end (3) and the external gate (6) is pivotably coupled to the frame (2) at the second end (4) opposite to the first end (3). The carabiner includes an interstitial region (9, 209, 210) to receive at least a portion of a user's finger so as to facilitate the opening of the gates |
