DMM Stowaway Gear Clip

The DMM Stowaway is a light gear clip for storing tools and spare hardware on your saddle. It is made for carrying gear, not for life support, and helps keep the gear loops organized.

Organizing the saddle

Gear loops fill up fast with carabiners, slings, a throw bag, and spare hitch cord. A few dedicated clips let you group items by job, so the rigging bits are in one place and the climbing spares are in another. That makes it quicker to find what you need without looking down.

Clips like the Stowaway are light and cheap enough to fit several. Keep them a different color from your life-support connectors so nobody mistakes one for the other, and rack the heavy items toward the back so they do not swing into your work.

Not for life support

Racking clips and tool hooks are made to carry gear, not people. Keep them visibly different from the connectors in your climbing system so nobody grabs one by mistake in a hurry. A different color or shape on the saddle helps, and so does keeping them on the gear loops only.

Check them now and then like any other hardware: a gate that no longer closes, a bent hook, or a cracked body means it goes in the bin. A dropped saw or handsaw can injure the ground crew, so make sure whatever hangs from the clip is secured the way the maker intends. Browse more saddle storage.
