Super comfy, and warm. I love the how you can unzip both of the 1/4 zippers from the bottom, so you can put your arms out to cook breakfast with your bag still on! My only problem was that it is a little heavier than I would like, but the other features make up for it.

The lacing system on these is wicked sweet. The laces lock into place on every eyelet so you can get them as tight as you want, and they stay there! Also, I have a narrow heel and my heel slips in every other boot i've ever had, but my foot is locked in place in these. I wear a size 8 shoe and fit in a size 6.5 boot, so size down!

I agree that the toe box is a little wider than I would like. My edging is not as solid as in my Miura's, but these make a great Trad/Bigwall shoe. They are also GREAT for long bushwhack gully descents. All in all a good shoe, but downsize.

The best feature about this pack is the HUGE fish-mouth-like opening to put your gear in! I climb a lot and I hate trying to stuff all my gear in the tiny opening that my old pack has. With the needle, all you do is grab the handle, and drop in your whole rack. The bag just swallows it all, like the whale chomping down on poor Jona. Plus, its the most comfortable pack I've ever owned. This is a great pack for climbing!!!

I love the auto double back! Nice that its only on one side as well. VERY lightweight in comparison to my old Petzl Corax. I like the different shape of the molded gearloops. I also like the haul loop on the back, makes trailing a rope 10 times easier. All in all, This is a great harness!

I love these shoes!! They are wicked light and perform better than I had hoped. I just took them on a backpacking trip through the Wind River's. My feet stayed dry even after trudging through puddles and snow. Great Shoes!!!

Great pad!! It carries well and I wave yet to bottom out on it. It also doesn't fold in half when you land on it due to the beveled center seam and hook and loop closure to hold it open.

Good tape. sticky, and tears into small strips easier and neater than some other tape I've used. It's nice to not have those stringy pieces all over when you're taping split fingers.

I love this stuff! I've used a number of different chalks and they all seem to cake up on my hands, and all over the rock. This eco chalk dries any sweat without gumming up my hands. Plus I've used it on granite, limestone, sandstone, and conglomerate and it doesn't leave any trace!!! Great stuff!

Wicked light, Wicked bright, and you can clip it to a hat, or your tent window flap, or your buddy's pack. Great as a backup or lightweight alternative. A must have for all mountain folk.

These are the most comfortable flip lops I've ever worn!! I love that you can cinch down the strap when you go hiking or paddling or whatever. They do seem to run about a half size big, so size down.

These socks are super soft, breathable, and I love the extra cushion on the bottom. Great for long hikes!!

I like the design, it looks great, and its comfortable. The only problem I had is I would have to update the time about a minute a week.

This lamp works great! Nothing too fancy, just a few useful settings, great for hiking and climbing. Lightweight, durable, and water resistant. For that price, nothing is better!

Good sleep is vital on any backpacking trip. Nothing sucks more than losing sleep and waking up with a sore back, when you have to hike for 9 hours the next day. This pad is great!!! I sleep better in the backcountry than I do at home. Plus it is wicked light! I suggest also picking up the stuff sack.

Mine has worked fine so far, no damage at all. You just have to make sure that ALL the air is out of your pad, so it fits better. Either way, it does what it says it does, holds your pad.

I love the RVCA Artist Network Program! This shirt fits slim like I like 'em.

Smith, Polarized, Sweetness!! I have never owned a pair of Smith sunglasses I didn't love!

I've had my Vector for a while and I love it!! It is easy to use and does what I want. Plain and simple, It does what it says it does!

This stuff is great!! I didn't even notice that my pro was getting gunky. After using this stuff, they glide smooth as glass. This is a must have!

Lightweight, easy to set up, durable, and affordable. I've had mine for three years, and use it regularly. I have not seen any wear and tear damage at all. Great tent!!

Once you go Merino, you'll never go back! Lightweight, warm, cool, breathable, smooth as silk, and you don't need to wash it very often!

This rope is sweet! The ARC makes rapping idiot proof. It's lightweight but feels solid. Good rope!

These place very well and are lighter than some other stoppers on the market. I like that they are anodized so you can grab the right nut quicker if you're in a pinch.

I love this ATC, it works great in all 3 positions: reg. friction for repelling, high friction for belay, and hanging auto block belay. I love the auto block!! It makes rope management SO much easier!! This is a Killer ATC!!

As far as the jet boil goes, I wont go camping without one. Lightning fast, light weight, and compact. Great!! The coffee press is neat, and works well with very coarse ground coffee. The only problem I have is its a little tricky to get everything contained inside with all the press attachments. This is a MUST HAVE!!

Tough, reliable and looks good with stickers on it! 'Nuff said.

Wicked light, low profile, comfortable, and easily adjustable. The only downside is that it dents and scratches easier than some other helmets. Other than that, excellent helmet!

Tastes healthy.... Not the really bad tasting, but much better for you than some of the other brands of dehydrated food. Not bad stuff. Good for those who actually care about what they eat.

These socks kick asprin! Light weight, breathable, but warm when you need it. Probably the most comfortable and versatile sock I've ever owned!!

This helmet is super light, but still has held up to the beatings I've given it. (and myself for that matter) I got the tune-ups with mine and those things can bomb! I love the way the visor looks, but it doesn't really block any sun.

When they say ultralight, they mean it! They feel about as heavy as my small stoppers.

This shoe fits better than a glove. I love how the lace goes around the heel so you can cinch your heel in. These are the best trad shoe I've ever had. I would order a size or so smaller than sneaker size because the leather on these stretches out after a while.

This is a sweet helmet!! It is the lightest thing I've ever picked up. I don't even realize its on my head! Also, The contoured shape of the back of this helmet lets me look straight up and the helmet doesn't hit my back, or get in the way if I have my bag on!!! The only thing is that I wouldn't use a foam helmet for ice climbing or caving.

These cams rock! I got a set of these and the TCU's and they feel like they don't weigh a thing at all. I also like the range finder dots that let you see if the placement is good or not.
