I just bought this and it feels really good on the inside. I immediately filled it with a 10g bag of chalk, threw in a roll of tape, a Clif Bar and tried to wedge my shoes in. I wear a US size 11 and one shoe fits in each mesh pocket, the advertisement must assume that the climber has little girlie feet or something, because 2 regular-size human pair of climbing shoes will not fit in here. One thing I don't like about this bag is that the main pocket closes with a zipper - it's not awful, I've just never seen anything that holds a powder close with a zipper. It is also not big enough to hold any water, which means this will not replace the bag you bring to the rocks with you. In summary, it's bigger than I imagined, but it's still too small to be your "only" bag, and too big to be you’re "other" bag.

I've been playing with this at work here on and off for a few hours, and it feels like it is working. I am holding it with one edge against the "base" of my thumb, and my 4 fingers on the opposite edge (like a hinged grip exerciser) and it digs into my hand a bit. Not extremely comfortable, but not bad. I don't notice it unless I use it for a long time in one session. Also, this smells really bad. It smells exactly like a rubber dog toy at your local pet store if you'd like to "smell it out" and see what you're in for before you get one. My hand smells like it now as well. I'm still using it and I'm not going to return it—I just wanted folks to hear the negative aspects I uncovered.
