Yes, it's almost the double the price of some other cams, but if you can afford it, it's an amazing piece of gear. I have the 0.5 and 1.0 Link Cams to supplement my rack of BD C4's, which is great as I rarely do routes long enough to require a full double rack, yet these two cams cover the entire range from 0.3 - 1.0 BD sizes. I don't understand complaints about the weight as I think the #1 and #2 are essentially the same weight as the pre-C4 Camalots while the #0.5 and #0.75 are actually lighter than the equivalent new C4's.

When I'm leading at my limit, my Link Cams sit in front of my rack so that I can fire them in at the crux without fiddling around with different sizes. I fell on the 0.5 just off the deck (maybe Fall Factor 0.8) a few weeks ago, and it held beautifully.

It's probably too expensive to buy a full rack of these guys (and probably cheating too, since they're so easy to place), but the Link Cam is a fantastic supplement to the trad rack.

I got my hands on a bunch of these for my very first set of quickdraws. After using them, I've been spoiled as every other biner on the market now feel difficult and awkward to clip. There's simply no way to get the Spiders snagged while clipping or unclipping as the motion is just so smooth.

I was shopping around for some lightweight biners to use for my trad/alpine draws when I came across these. For 6 bucks a piece when buying the 5-pack, you get a 1-oz biner from Wild Country that oozes quality. The Xenon Lite is about the same size and weight as the BD Oz and Mammut Moses biners, but has a marginally larger gate opening due to the bent wiregate.
