GRIMLOC 25MM CARABINER 4 X PACK

Grimloc™ locking D-ring/carabiner.

Design history:

ITW had recently designed GhillieTEX™ - the first IR signal reducing hardware.

So, when the United States Marine Corps were looking for a new fastener for their bladder hydration system, they came to ITW.

The existing hydration unit included a shoulder strap system that was prone to riding over body armour and cutting off circulation to the arms at the shoulder and pinching nerves.

As a result, Marines in the 1 MEF asked for a system that would allow them to fasten their hydration system directly to their body armour.

The Grimloc™ locking D-ring/carabiner was the solution!

At the time, the army was also looking for a fastening solution to mount items directly to the MOLLE webbing found on rucksacks, body armour, and load bearing vests that was strong enough to carry equipment that required quick access yet would "break away" with a soldier’s weight.

Often, soldiers would mount lanyards directly to the MOLLE webbing, or to the large metal carabiners utilized in climbing. However, these methods did not allow for a quick break if the lanyard was snagged during jumping and could result in serious injury to the soldier.

Once again, the Grimloc™ locking D-ring/carabiner was the solution!
