Excellent but expensive
They are an awesome, lightweight setup when paired with skinny Mammut slings. They are super lightweight, handle nicely, have strong wiregate action, and a useful notch-less design. All around a great carabiner with the only real drawback being their high price.

Great biner for alpine
Replaced all my biners with these and the weight difference is amazing. Good size and opening. Also like the red and silver colors for draws and visibility on the rock.

great biner, watch for sales
I have found that often it's cheaper to buy the quickdraw than two of these biners, so check out that option.
Of the comparable biners, this and the DMM shield are my favorites. But both are expensive. I only buy them when I can find them on sale (which is to say, rarely). Instead, I have a big pile of Mad Rock Ultralights, which cost half as much.

Excellent light carabiner
Helium is a good carabiner, it's light easy to clip and due to its clear clip nose it does not tangle. One of the best carabiners there is.
The dogbone that comes with Helum quickdraw is not good though for ice climbing in cold conditions, as the rubber that holds the carabiner in place tends to break.
