Great shirt

prAna Fade Stripe Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

prAna Fade Stripe Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 September 30, 2008

Nice shirt, well-made. Looks good in the office, out to dinner, or out on the town. Great with a pair of jeans and a brown t-shirt. It's comfortable buttoned up or left open. I can't say a bad word about it.

Looks great, feels even better

prAna Makuza Ringer T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

prAna Makuza Ringer T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 September 30, 2008

As with all Prana's organic cotton shirts, this one feels way more soft and comfortable than your average t-shirt. It fits comfortably and isn't at all baggy--it wont cling to you or get in your way. Great for climbing or just going out. The contrasting colors on the neck and sleeves look good and gives your t-shirt a stylish look between a regular T and a ringer.

Couldn't ask for better

Metolius Climbing Tape Roll

Metolius Climbing Tape Roll

Rating for this product: 5 September 30, 2008

Let's be honest, it's just a role of tape. Larry is right, though. It is the Cadillac of tape. Sticks well, the roll is wide enough to tear in half. The tape is durable and doesn't get in your way when climbing. Even good for nasty, torn-up hands when I row.

Backcountry.com The Goat Organic Cotton T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 September 30, 2008

It looks good, it feels good, it's cheap. What more do you want? It's a little tighter fitting than, say, a Prana T of the same size, but don't you want to show off your rippling muscles? It's also a little longer than most t-shirts which makes it great for climbing since it wont crawl up.

Love the design

prAna Sombra Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 September 30, 2008

Like all Prana's shirts, this looks great and is as comfortable as you can ask for. But the design on the back of the shirt looks really sweet. Because of it, it's better for a night out than for work, but it'll get you noticed by the hunnies at your local hangout. Fits great, well-made, looks good.

Comfortable and looking good, in true Prana fashion. It'll keep your warm in cooler weather and when it gets even colder you can just toss a jacket over this sweatshirt and stay super warm looking super good!

Rating for this product: 5 September 30, 2008

If you want a polo that says something other than "look at the color I decided to wear today" then take this with you. The design on the back is subtle but noticeable and looks good. Fits well and is made out of comfortable fabric. Go ahead, look good and feet even better.

Rating for this product: 5 September 30, 2008

When I got this shirt I was a little skeptical as to how comfortable it would be to wear. After one climbing session I was sold. It kept me dry without getting wet and clingy. I can't wait to get the excuse to wear it again when I go bouldering tomorrow!

One of Prana's great tech T's

prAna Sacred Movement Tech T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

prAna Sacred Movement Tech T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 September 30, 2008

The design on the back is sweet and even in the hottest, muggiest weather you can go out bouldering without the fear of getting gross and having every inch of your clothing cling to your body. This shirt surprises me each time when I see how fast it dries out, especially if there's even a little breeze. If you're looking for a tech T, this is the one for you.

Good belt, a little small

prAna Classic Leather Belt - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 September 30, 2008

I'm a 32 in some brands, a 34 in others. The small/medium was too small for me. If you're a 32 or larger you should definitely get the medium/large. Otherwise, it looks good with jeans or something slightly more formal.

Warm, Stylish, Well Designed

prAna Akando Jacket - Men's

prAna Akando Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 November 12, 2007

If I have one complaint about this jacket it is that it's too comfortable. It keeps you warm like you wouldn't believe, looks pretty sharp, and the knit cuffs are an amazing addition to the jacket. It looks good open, it looks good zipped up, it's casual yet leaves you looking nice enough that people will notice. I've been waiting to find a jacket like!

Warm, Simple, A little small

prAna Thermal Reversible Beanie - Men's

prAna Thermal Reversible Beanie - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 November 12, 2007

This hat keeps a low profile from its size to its design, to the logo placement. It'll keep your head warm when the fiercest winds are blowing. The reversible side's solid color appears to be the same at the top stripe (i.e. blue on the black hat). My only beef with it is that on men, or if you have a mess of hair on the top of your head, the hat doesn't quite cover the entire ear. Otherwise I love it and it looks great!

prAna Flow Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 November 5, 2007

This shirt breathes like it isn't there. It goes out of its way to stay out of your way whether you're bouldering or strapped into a harness. Even on the warmest days or in the stuffiest of gyms this shirt stays dry and wont cling like normal t-shirts do. A must-buy for any athlete.

prAna Flow Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 November 5, 2007

This shirt goes out of its way to stay out of your way. It feels like it's not even there, it's so comfortable and lightweight. When your workouts leave you drenched in sweat it doesn't cling to your body like a regular t-shirt would, leaving you as unhindered on your last bouldering problem as it did on your first. While it's ultra-breathable, keeping you comfortable in even the stuffiest of gyms, it's also not pierced by the breeze, allowing you to jog home from the gym in it or climb outdoors even on cool October days. A must-buy for any athlete!

Good bag, leaves a little to be desired

Black Diamond Chalk Bag

Black Diamond Chalk Bag

Rating for this product: 4 November 5, 2007

If you don't have small hands or a specific need for a small bag I would definitely recommend the large size. It's a simple design for a simple task which is all I'm looking for. It's waist-cord is a bit of a hassle, though. It must be tied each time it is put on and the cord material lends itself to loosening so make sure to tie a good knot. Nothing that can't be fixed by a separate belt for a few dollars more.

Rating for this product: 5 November 5, 2007

A great biner if you're looking for something which is lightweight but not miniature and something which is sturdy but doesn't weigh almost as much as your harness. It's nose ensures that nothing ever gets caught, allowing clipping and unclipping.

Rating for this product: 5 November 5, 2007

This is one of the best carabiners you can get without sacrificing size for weight. It's super responsive and won't leave you worrying about its reliability compared to other non-locking biners with bulkier gates. The next non-locking biners I buy will undoubtedly be more HotWires.

Awesome shoe, a little small

Five Ten Gambit Climbing Shoe - Men's

Five Ten Gambit Climbing Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 November 2, 2007

In street shoes I'm a size 12, in the other climbing shoes I've worn I'm a size 11 1/2. In these I'm definitely a 12. I've never worn Five Tens before so it might be a brand thing but these are fairly firm and the synthetic uppers shouldn't stretch with time so consider buying your street shoe size. Otherwise an awesome shoe with great breathability.

Lightweight, comfortable, great

Petzl Hirundos Harness - Men's

Petzl Hirundos Harness - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 November 2, 2007

It feels like I'm not wearing a harness at all. It weighs almost nothing at all! It's comfortable to wear whether I'm belaying, climbing, or just sitting down to rest and it's got a great range of motion. Petzl really pulled out all the stops with this one. By measurement I should be on the low half of a Medium but a Small is definitely the way to go for me. If you tend towards the low end of a size you might consider just buying one notch down.
