looking for some new quickdraws. any suggestions? I've had my eye on the wild country astro. ridiculous weight for the price. I'd be using them mainly for sport

Personally I swear by black diamond...I have some quickwires that I love to death. I have always wanted to get a full rack of Petzl Spirits though...everytime I have used them I love them.

Personally for sport climbing I look for key nose style biners for at least the bolt end of the draw to minimize snagging.
Petzl spirits are my personal favorite
trango smooths are good too.
Black diamond nitron is sweet as well.
Petzl is comming out with the ANGE wich is a key nose wire gate biner. looks nice I have yet to test those out.

if you are looking to save some weight, wire biners are the way to go. i personally use both gates in black diamonds and the heavier omega pacifics. both are great.

I just purchased some black diamond posiwire draws. Positron biner on one end and hotwire on the other. Haven't tried them yet, but they looked like the best bang for your buck.

I'm one of those people who swears by BD, but swearing aside, if you're looking to save weight, look no further than the Posiwire from BD. I'll pack twelve on for a multipitch, and I barely even notice they're there. But of course, there's the Petzl Ange to consider, weight wise- if you're willing to spend more money. Weight AND bang-for-your-buck wise, go with the Posiwire quickpack.

Personally I use the CAMP Orbit draws. They have comparable biners to the Petzl Spirit draws but are half the price and a lot lighter. I also have a few BD poswire draws and they are awesome and BD has a sale right now where you get 10% off if you buy 6 draws.
