As clean and reliable as a Viking’s longship, the HotForge Quickdraw slices through clipping challenges. The snag-free keylock gates and hot-forged design keep clipping friction low. The bright bottom gate gives a fast visual target mid-pitch, and the Straitjacket sling stops flip-flop mid-lead. It’s light enough to carry all day, durable enough to endure every dyno. Clip in with confidence, send with conviction—and gear that’s trailblazed its own saga.
Skål to gear that works as hard as your sends!
