as a female with a narrow heel, finding a crampon that stays on my boots are key, and finding a crampon that prevents balling and added weight is even more important! these grivels do all that and remain sharp and spikey. I highly recommend them, easy to put on even with thick mittens on, easy to adjust and they keep their edge. I would recommend getting a crampon bag whe buying these or any crampons to keep them safe in your pack

i totally agree with the other disappointed reviewers.. I bought the XL version of this bag, b/c i was looking for a similar bag to the north face expedition duffel, but i loved the fact that this one had wheels. But that's where the thrill ended. It's definitely not as rugged as it needs to be, not by a landslide. it tore on my first trek, and while duct tape has kept it together i'm nervous to take it back into a rugged environment. I also missed the backpack straps, but i was really keen to have the wheels--too bad it tore so quickly, guess i'll be getting the north face duffel after all!

i will admit, i bought this vest first for the aesthetics and secondly for the warmth/functionality and i'm pleased on all fronts. i think it fits true to size, and it looks uber cool. the warm lined pockets and properly fitting sleeve openings means it doesn't gape and it keeps you warm in all the right places, plus the design is great for the urban hike and the downhill adventure

i'm sold! totally sold. i bought these mitts in a size smaller than normal (xs) per the reviews, and they were spot on. a little bit short in the finger, but any bigger would've been too big everywhere else. I used them during a recent glacier climb in bolivia and can say that for the first time EVER, i didn't have to shake my hands warm even once! I highly recommend these, even for the crazy price.

These tops are great for working out. Quick dry, fit well, and what's best is that they also look cute, so you don't mind wearing them out before or after the gym/trail. I'm a big fan.

I’ve used this axe before and loved it. I went to buy myself one. It lighter than the other model, a reasonable price, very durable, and has a great grip and a light swing weight.
