Vertical caving terminology and methods > Personal SRT gear
A large maillon or carabiner shaped like a letter D, which is used to connect the two sides of a sit harness, and attach other equipment. This is the main load-bearing attachment for a sit harness. In order to be strong enough in all directions over 180°, these are usually much thicker and heavier than a normal carabiner or maillon. Manufacturers may refer to these as multi-directional or semi-circle carabiners.
