The much anticipated DMM Dragons have finally crawled from the crags of Wales and landed on our shores ready to scorch cracks.
What makes these Dragons breathe fire??
Colors
After years of climbers having to deal with each company having their unique color schemes DMM has done away with that and sided with BD as being the standard.
Sizes
Like colors each company had their own sizing. Dragons are Double-Axle which gives them the same range as BD. This means that climbers can grab a red Dragon and know what size it is.
This does not mean that Dragons are simply BD cams.
They are Lighter!!
Dragons weigh up to 17 grams less than their BD counterpart. A savings of 58g across the whole range. How do those crazy Welchmen do that?? Well, they hot forge the lobes which allows them to take out more material.
Extendable slings.
Not only are Dragons lighter but you can save even more weight by carrying less. Since the Dragons use a sling that can be pulled out to a full 10″. Meaning you don’t have to have as much webbing, draws, biners, and other stuff. Clip and go!!
• Hot forged cams that combine lightness with strength.
• Twin axle design for extended expansion range and smooth action.
• Constant 13.75° camming angle.
• Extendable 8mm dyneema sling.
• Strong springs help create a stable placement that resists walking.
• Moulded ergonomic trigger bar.
• Replaceable trigger wire system.
• Colour coded for easy size recognition.
• Anodised cams for corrosion prevention.
On top of that you get the same CE, UIAA, 3Sigma safety you have come to expect from the forge at DMM.
All of this comes together to make a cam that shows great promise and we look forward to hearing from you and what you think of Dragons from DMM.
“After including them on a few climbs, they are starting to feel very comfortable in our hands. We are really liking the adjustable length sling .”- Adam & Jim
