Great jacket! It's lightweight and takes up little space. Size US S = UK 10 = EUR 34/36. I bought it for climbing and hiking, as an independent jacket or a warm layer under a membrane shell. However, I liked it so much that I now wear it in the city. It features thin, breathable inserts under the armpits. The sleeves are narrow, so large watches don’t fit; you have to take them off to put on the jacket. But this is a minor issue—I just fell in love with it!

Best belay device for indoor climbing! I like how smoothly the rope runs. It works well even with old ropes of a large diameter. I worry less about the leader's breakdown during belaying. Out of place in the mountains, but more convenient on the climbing wall than the ATC-Guide.

Lightweight Petzl Laser Speed Ice Screws are superb. Petzl, due to the races near the teeth, bites well into the ice from a half rotation, unlike the Black Diamond Ice Screws need to be scrolled 1.5 turns. When compared with steel ice screws, aluminum ones spin much faster and melt out of ice slower.

I agree with the previous comment, this spork with a long handle is really useful for dehydrated food packages and keeping your hands clean (it's specially helpful in cold weather). Lightweight and well-made. I like it.

My phone turns off quickly in the cold, so I bought Ignik warmers for climbing to a height of 5600m. There was -20 outside. I carried my phone in an inside pocket next to the body. I think that these warmers do not work at altitude above 4000m.They did not begin to warm even after 6 hours after they were glued. I don't recommend it.

The greatest sleep pad ever! I have been using it for 4 years. Despite the instruction "to put the foil side to the ground", my back is getting cold. So, I always use foil side to the sleeping bag. It fits perfectly inside the backpack along the back and does not take up much space. I already bought the second one for my friend.

I already have a titanium Jetboil SOL (it's not available now), which I really like. I spent a little more than half of a 200g canister per sublimates and 10 days of hiking in the mountains. Above 3500m, piezo ignition doesn't always work stable, but even at 4200m I didn't use matches. Last year, part of the radiator burned out, so I bought a MiniMo system with an additional regulator to boil not only water.

I like this DMM Dragon Cam. It works very smoothly, clings and holds in the rock well. There is convenient adjustment of the sling length. I used it in summer weather and I hope for a good work in winter.

I replaced the Camp Nano 22 with the Wild Country Astro on my quickdraws. These carabiners are lightweight, smooth, solid and more scratch resistant. Five days with Pythons and hooks and they look like new.
