KONG EXPRESS FROG 12 cm Quickdraw | Automatic Directional Connector
The KONG EXPRESS FROG is a patented quickdraw system featuring KONG's innovative FROG directional connector with automatic closure. Designed for fast, secure attachment to compatible anchor points, the FROG automatically engages on contact, eliminating the need to manually open a conventional carabiner gate.
Developed in collaboration with Politecnico di Milano, the FROG connector offers an alternative to traditional hook-style connectors. Its automatic clamping mechanism is especially useful for connecting to anchor points that are hard to reach with standard connectors.
The EXPRESS FROG incorporates a 12 cm sling and an aluminum alloy connector rated to 24 kN along its major axis. Each unit is individually tested and manufactured in Italy.
