DMM has a handful of quickdraws constructed for various styles of climbing, and the Shadow Quickdraw is the lighter model in the sport climbing category. The carabiners are lighter than the other quickdraws constructed for sport climbing, except it still touts the stiffer nylon sling that's easier to grab when you're hang-dogging to suss out cruxes. The carabiners also have keylock noses to prevent snagging on bolts and ropes.
