If you want to try it out without shelling out the money in case you don't get on with it, you can do it quite easily with a couple of normal HMS biners which you probably have lying around. The oval biners just make it easier to clip/unclip as you can rotate the bottom one round to make attachment easier. I just use one oval for the bottom biner and a dmm 'lynx' that i already had for the top one.

Until you open up the catalogue. Then everything looks good and you think it would look even better in your kit bag.
