I bought these as my first pair of climbing shoes and they have not let me down. The to-the-toe lacing provides infinite adjustment options to make them fit exactly how you like. I did buy a half size smaller than I normally wear, to allow for stretching, and couldn't get my foot in. A simple, pain free exchange through this fine purveyor and I can't stay off the wall. My only suggestion to 5.10 would be to fill the whole heel area with rubber. There are little patches of exposed leather on the sides of the heel that might wear before the rest of this durable shoe.

I have mixed feelings about these pants. They are very well made, comfortable and tend to be the pants I wear the most lately. Having said that, they are a bit overpriced and ride a little higher than I’m used to. After years of deliberation about dropping the dough on MKs I’m glad I did once, but won’t be buying more unless the price drops. This site is still the best though!

After years of dragging my feet, the Mrs. convinced me to put some plastic on my head. I actually hardly notice it’s there. Decent venting and a simple, clean design made this the obvious choice. I have not hit anything with it so I cannot attest to its strength.

These are the best lightweight base layer pants I've tried on. I've been a die hard Capilene fan for many years, but these have taken over. The best feature is the extra fabric in the groin area, giving your business a little room and not that shrink wrapped feeling you get in most long johns.

After riding many days in single digit temps with thin base layers, it was time to upgrade. These pants are thick, but not too thick, and have a great stretch you don’t find in many fleece pants. Very comfortable and warm

The new capilene seems softer than my old stuff, but just as functional. Warm and thirsty fabric keeps you comfy whether powering up the hill or resting on the windy ridge. The neck is a little bigger than it should be though.

I use these gloves for skate skiing and they are perfect. Just warm enough, but breathable to ditch the heat when my mitts get toasty. The leather palm grips poles securely. Is also nice under a ski glove on those extra cold alpine days.

I finally out grew my 12 year old Timbuk2 so I had to upgrade. Notice I didn't say "wore out" my old bag. These things last forever.

After nearly 20 years in Tevas I made the switch; and I'm glad I did. Bomber sandals!

New to climbing and not sure what to buy? Go with this package and a pair of shoes and you will be very happy. The harness is much more comfortable than the all nylon one’s you may have tried and adjusts easily. The belay device is the standard for the business and the locking biner is nerve calmingly burley. Throw in the chalk ball and bag (as they did) and you, my sweaty fingered friend, are on your way.

Just the right size for solo outings or even a couple of days with a small group if you're not melting snow.

I bought my Timbuk2 messenger 12 years ago and am just now looking at replacing it. It's still hangin' tough like NKOTB but my commute requires a larger size. If you are even thinking about buying one, do it. You won’t be sorry.

These are exactly the shoe you would expect from the powerhouse that is Patagonia. They are very comfortable and seemingly durable. I’m going to step out on a limb and say they feel like the marriage of a trail runner and a climbing shoe.

These chonies are so comfortable you hardly notice them. I do concur with the reviewer who said the fly opens a little easy and the elastic band can roll. The pros, like super fast drying and just the sheer comfort, way outweigh the cons.
