The flexible flaps are engineered for a light yet effective grip. During falls, the natural movement of the rope is unimpeded, ensuring your safety and confidence. A key highlight, the hammer-head flap, is specifically designed to prevent the rope from dislodging from the cincher during falls.

The 5 pack is a great starter set. Usually they are used every 2-4 meters depending on the terrain, so 5 is enough for most climbing. More shouldn't hurt, but also requires more LRS dedicated quickdraws.
The cinchers fit all mid to large size carabiners regardless of body shape. They are flexible rubber, and form tightly over any carabiner shape, especially with the hot water soak step described in the instructions. An I-beam carabiner does hold the Soft Cinch in place slightly better, though. They are not compatible with the smallest wiregates (BD Minis, Nano 22s, EDELRID 19g...) due to not enough gate clearance.
The rubber devices both should last about a season of heavy LRS use, but are "consumable gear" and do wear out.
The Soft Cinchers should be fairly robust with a light hold, only wearing slightly from the rope movement over time. The Slide Cinchers have a much stronger hold, and thus faster wear - they will "wear in" to your diameter of rope first, and then last a long time as that wear level once set. It is worth noting that the rope movement of a bungee anchor will cause much faster cinch wear.
