Supreme vs. Original
Supreme version
Original — Nite Ize
S-Biner Stainless Steel Dual Carabiner #2
About the original
The Nite Ize S-Biner is a double-gated stainless steel carabiner in the shape of the letter S, with two independent spring gates for clipping keys, bottles, or gear to a bag. Nite Ize was founded in Boulder, Colorado in 1989 and has built the S-Biner as a core line ever since, with sizes running from #0.5 up to #5 and a worry-free lifetime guarantee. The Supreme version uses the #2 stainless steel body with a Supreme wordmark engraved on one gate; mechanically it is the same piece of hardware Nite Ize sells at hardware stores for a few dollars.
About Nite Ize
Nite Ize is an American outdoor accessories company founded in 1989 by Rick Case in Boulder, Colorado. Case started the company as a University of Colorado undergraduate with a $1,500 family loan after a Grand Teton winter ascent inspired him to convert a Mini Maglite into a hands-free headlamp using an elastic Headband Mini Flashlight Holder. Nite Ize has since launched over 1,000 original inventions, including the S-Biner double-gated carabiner, Gear Tie reusable rubber twist tie, Figure 9 rope tightener, and Financial Tool wallet multi-tool. The company remains independent and headquartered in Boulder. Supreme collaborated with Nite Ize on co-branded carabiners and small carry hardware.
