The laced Miuras usually give a better fit than the velcro - so I usually prefer them. I have TC pros and Miura's in my rotation and I tend to have a preference for different shoes for some routes. Miura's seem to be a more "all around" shoe for me. They are more aggressive than the TC Pros, but only slightly and it generally gives me better edging on most routes except for some of the more slabby routes. Shoes usually end up being pretty subjective but I have gone through 8 pairs of Miuras and around 4-5 resoles for each vs 4 pairs of the TCs and about the same amount of resoles so I think I just end up defaulting to them subconsciously. Honestly I don't think you could go wrong with either shoe and stick to what fits and feels the best on the wall. Obviously both are pretty expensive and have only been going up in price lately, both can handle many resoles, I usually just ended up getting a new pair when I saw a sale - but I bet I could have kept resoling my original pair.

Used this thing on average about 3-4 times a week at the gym and it still handles like new. Definitely feels more durable compared to some other brands of gym ropes I've used (sterling, edeldrid). The only downside is usually I have to force myself to retire these at some point even when there are no obvious signs of wear for safety reasons. Not sure when that will be but I usually play it by ear and based on the look and feel of the rope.

Super comfortable out of the box. Sized at street shoe size, which ended up being a perfect fit. She can last all day now with this shoe which is a huge benefit compared to the minor decrease in performance. Slightly less edging power compared to other shoes and the lack of the downturn does decrease some performance under certain conditions. But overall the trade-off with comfort is worth it.

This is a great rain shell. Kept me dry under pretty heavy downpours and was light enough to pack away and not bother me when it wasn't needed. I have a few others that are ever so slightly heavier and somehow bulkier. I prefer this one by far.

This shirt is awesome. I was a bit wary about paying such a high price for the shirt, but with the minimal branding this shirt is worth it for function alone. After a hard gym or outdoor session this shirt is bone dry before I even remember to check. It breaths super well and is extra light weight. In general it's not something I need, but I appreciate any little edge I can find when I'm trying to push myself.

Was way warmer than I expected it to be after first receiving it. It's my go to jacket in most conditions except for when I'd consider it extremely cold out. Surprisingly okay even when it starts to get a bit warm as its super breathable. Super comfortable.

Fit is perfect, I'm usually about a 31-32 and these fit just right. They are light and great for high activity or just for a casual look. I've bought a few pairs since and they have all held up for years now with no issues.

Used these at least once a week for an entire summer and they still seem good as new. No complaints, super comfy and stretches where I need to. I've used this hiking, climbing, and just casually around town.

Picked this harness up since I was in the market for a new one as my old one was looking rough. When I first got this, I was pretty amazed at how light it was. It's only a matter of 6 or so ounces less than my older harness but its still very noticeable. The harness itself is comfortable and I only use this one for gym climbing. I don't think I'll swap this for my outdoor harness however as the gear loops are pretty small. Overall it's great and I can have it on for 3-4 hours and kind of forget I still have it on. Note that the leg loops are non-adjustable. I can't keep anything in my pockets and wear this as my legs are a bit hefty. If you are on the wide end of leg thickness you may want to double check the sizing. It is stretchy, but there is an upper limit.
