Full-gate carabiners are considered the normal carabiners. In contrast to wire-gate carabiners they are not prone to getting things stuck in their entrance because of their more favourable nose shape. They might be prone to whipsplash (opening of the gate in case of a suddenly-stopped move). They are mostly seen in quickdraws on the bolt side, or no both sides. They are useful for carrying trad climbing protection pieces with wires. | Full-gate carabiners are considered the normal carabiners.
