Petzl Hirundos Harness - Men's    This product is no longer available
 
Lightweight, comfortable, great   11-01-07   

It feels like I'm not wearing a harness at all. It weighs almost nothing at all! It's comfortable to wear whether I'm belaying, climbing, or just sitting down to rest and it's got a great range of motion. Petzl really pulled out all the stops with this one. By measurement I should be on the low half of a Medium but a Small is definitely the way to go for me. If you tend towards the low end of a size you might consider just buying one notch down.

prAna Akando Jacket - Men's    Read other reviews of this product
 
Warm, Stylish, Well Designed   11-12-07   

If I have one complaint about this jacket it is that it's too comfortable. It keeps you warm like you wouldn't believe, looks pretty sharp, and the knit cuffs are an amazing addition to the jacket. It looks good open, it looks good zipped up, it's casual yet leaves you looking nice enough that people will notice. I've been waiting to find a jacket like!

Feather-light shirt that won't hold you back   11-02-07   

This shirt breathes like it isn't there. It goes out of its way to stay out of your way whether you're bouldering or strapped into a harness. Even on the warmest days or in the stuffiest of gyms this shirt stays dry and wont cling like normal t-shirts do. A must-buy for any athlete.

prAna GMH Full-Zip Hooded Sweatshirt - Men's    Read other reviews of this product
 
Looks good with or without a jacket   09-28-08   

Comfortable and looking good, in true Prana fashion. It'll keep your warm in cooler weather and when it gets even colder you can just toss a jacket over this sweatshirt and stay super warm looking super good!

prAna Thermal Reversible Beanie - Men's    Read other reviews of this product
 
Warm, Simple, A little small   11-12-07   

This hat keeps a low profile from its size to its design, to the logo placement. It'll keep your head warm when the fiercest winds are blowing. The reversible side's solid color appears to be the same at the top stripe (i.e. blue on the black hat). My only beef with it is that on men, or if you have a mess of hair on the top of your head, the hat doesn't quite cover the entire ear. Otherwise I love it and it looks great!

Black Diamond Chalk Bag    This product is no longer available
 
Good bag, leaves a little to be desired   11-04-07   

If you don't have small hands or a specific need for a small bag I would definitely recommend the large size. It's a simple design for a simple task which is all I'm looking for. It's waist-cord is a bit of a hassle, though. It must be tied each time it is put on and the cord material lends itself to loosening so make sure to tie a good knot. Nothing that can't be fixed by a separate belt for a few dollars more.

Black Diamond HotWire Carabiner    This product is no longer available
 
Ridiculously lightweight   11-04-07   

This is one of the best carabiners you can get without sacrificing size for weight. It's super responsive and won't leave you worrying about its reliability compared to other non-locking biners with bulkier gates. The next non-locking biners I buy will undoubtedly be more HotWires.

prAna Flow Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's    Read other reviews of this product
 
Weighs nothing, super comfortable!   11-04-07   

This shirt goes out of its way to stay out of your way. It feels like it's not even there, it's so comfortable and lightweight. When your workouts leave you drenched in sweat it doesn't cling to your body like a regular t-shirt would, leaving you as unhindered on your last bouldering problem as it did on your first. While it's ultra-breathable, keeping you comfortable in even the stuffiest of gyms, it's also not pierced by the breeze, allowing you to jog home from the gym in it or climb outdoors even on cool October days. A must-buy for any athlete!

prAna Reversible Belt- Men's    Read other reviews of this product
 
Good belt, a little small   09-28-08   

I'm a 32 in some brands, a 34 in others. The small/medium was too small for me. If you're a 32 or larger you should definitely get the medium/large. Otherwise, it looks good with jeans or something slightly more formal.

prAna Sacred Movement Tech T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's    Read other reviews of this product
 
One of Prana's great tech T's   09-28-08   

The design on the back is sweet and even in the hottest, muggiest weather you can go out bouldering without the fear of getting gross and having every inch of your clothing cling to your body. This shirt surprises me each time when I see how fast it dries out, especially if there's even a little breeze. If you're looking for a tech T, this is the one for you.

It's a classic Prana T   09-28-08   

What more is there to say besides the design looks fashionable, the cloth feels soft and comfortable, and you'll forget you're even wearing it when climbing? A+

Exceeds expectations!   09-28-08   

When I got this shirt I was a little skeptical as to how comfortable it would be to wear. After one climbing session I was sold. It kept me dry without getting wet and clingy. I can't wait to get the excuse to wear it again when I go bouldering tomorrow!

prAna Omen Polo Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's    Read other reviews of this product
 
Cool polo   09-28-08   

If you want a polo that says something other than "look at the color I decided to wear today" then take this with you. The design on the back is subtle but noticeable and looks good. Fits well and is made out of comfortable fabric. Go ahead, look good and feet even better.

prAna Sombra Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's    Read other reviews of this product
 
Love the design   09-28-08   

Like all Prana's shirts, this looks great and is as comfortable as you can ask for. But the design on the back of the shirt looks really sweet. Because of it, it's better for a night out than for work, but it'll get you noticed by the hunnies at your local hangout. Fits great, well-made, looks good.

Backcountry.com The Goat Organic Cotton T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's    This product is no longer available
 
Tell the world you love this place   09-28-08   

It looks good, it feels good, it's cheap. What more do you want? It's a little tighter fitting than, say, a Prana T of the same size, but don't you want to show off your rippling muscles? It's also a little longer than most t-shirts which makes it great for climbing since it wont crawl up.

Metolius Climbing Tape Roll    This product is no longer available
 
Couldn't ask for better   09-28-08   

Let's be honest, it's just a role of tape. Larry is right, though. It is the Cadillac of tape. Sticks well, the roll is wide enough to tear in half. The tape is durable and doesn't get in your way when climbing. Even good for nasty, torn-up hands when I row.

prAna Makuza Ringer T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's    This product is no longer available
 
Looks great, feels even better   09-28-08   

As with all Prana's organic cotton shirts, this one feels way more soft and comfortable than your average t-shirt. It fits comfortably and isn't at all baggy--it wont cling to you or get in your way. Great for climbing or just going out. The contrasting colors on the neck and sleeves look good and gives your t-shirt a stylish look between a regular T and a ringer.

Great shirt   09-28-08   

Nice shirt, well-made. Looks good in the office, out to dinner, or out on the town. Great with a pair of jeans and a brown t-shirt. It's comfortable buttoned up or left open. I can't say a bad word about it.

Black Diamond Positron Screwgate Carabiner    This product is no longer available
 
Light, smooth, sturdy   11-04-07   

A great biner if you're looking for something which is lightweight but not miniature and something which is sturdy but doesn't weigh almost as much as your harness. It's nose ensures that nothing ever gets caught, allowing clipping and unclipping.

Five Ten Gambit Climbing Shoe - Men's    Read other reviews of this product
 
Awesome shoe, a little small   11-01-07   

In street shoes I'm a size 12, in the other climbing shoes I've worn I'm a size 11 1/2. In these I'm definitely a 12. I've never worn Five Tens before so it might be a brand thing but these are fairly firm and the synthetic uppers shouldn't stretch with time so consider buying your street shoe size. Otherwise an awesome shoe with great breathability.
