I thought for sure that this bag would be SHREDDED when I squeezed out of a grueling chimney but there was not so much as a blemish! Very lightweight but surprisingly tough! The price, weight, and durability of this bag is hard to beat!

Great rope that handles, knots, and performs extremely well without weighing a whole lot. Colors are really cool too. My friend and I each have this rope and his certainly looks different than mine. Love it!

I've put a lot of miles on my pair, taking them through snow, across rivers, long and strenuous backpacking trips, and quick but challenging day hikes and they've treated me well. Easily one of my favorite pieces of gear. They are fairly lightweight and compact but very tough and don't show any signs of failing any time soon.

I've used these shoes for everything from the short approaches at the local bouldering area in Phoenix to an extended weekend of backpacking in the North Cascades NP and they're still alive and well. Took few chunks out of the rubber molding on the edge of the shoe during a very VERY wet canyoneering trip but that's the only real damage that they've shown so I'd say they're pretty durable. While they're very breathable and keep my feet cool (primary reason a purchased the shoe as my feet are always hot when I wear shoes), they do not have very much cushioning, so, if that's what you're looking these probably aren't for you but I suppose an insole could solve that issue. The soles are pretty stiff at first but they relax after a few trips so I can't complain. Anyway, I wear them as my hiking, approach, backpacking, and canyoneering shoe and they have never failed to deliver.

This is my go-to pack for backpacking and travel! It's super comfortable and pretty lightweight with plenty of room for all of your gear and plenty of pockets to organize your stuff. More than enough space enough to carry all of your backcountry needs, yet small enough to use as your carry-on pack for air travel and able to fit into the overhead bins of the plane. I've been done a lot over the past few years with this pack and it still serves me well. Highly recommend if you are looking for a lighter pack that's able to do carry all of your gear during a weekend backpacking trip, during an extended backcountry outing, or to simply hold your stuff while traveling.

This is a great belay device because of it's compact size, low-weight, and assisted-braking function! Using the lever to lower your climber takes a few tries to get used to because of the small size of the device but after a few tries you'll figure it out. Gets the Functions just like the GriGri but weighs much less. I highly recommend this device if you're trying trim some weight off of your rack and you're looking for an assisted-braking device.

I snagged the hooded mummy liner to protect my sleeping bag. It's very lightweight, soft, and adds a little bit of warmth to my bag but is pretty thin so if you're looking for a lot of extra warmth look at other materials.
