Rating for this product: 5 October 14, 2009

I just picked up a bottle of this the other day. It is super easy to apply and straight forward. It requires you to soak the rope for 2 hours. After soaking you put in old pillow case and was with warm water in washing machine. Then you lay it out to dry. After washing and drying the rope feels great and looks great. I look forward to getting out these winter season and see how it does in wet icy conditions. It is worth the money to add some life to a rope.

I just picked up a few of these and love them. Super light weight and a name you can trust. I found on the larger size you can take a small rubber band and slide on tight before you but your carabiner on and it will hold it in place pretty well. The loop on the opposite side of the gasket is a larger loop so it adds some security to the carabiner from flipping over.

I finally broke down and bought my first rope after reading a lot of reviews. I have used this rope the past three weeks and have been pleased. It is well worth the price and it is a dry rope. It feeds through my belay device very smoothly. I haven't taken any falls on it yet. Also climbing on it for three weeks the sheath looks as new as the day I got it. Well worth the money.

I picked up a few of these guys for a upcoming climbing trip to have a few extra lockers. They came in handy because I ended up having to set up more webbing to drop down into the canyon then I thought. Worth every penny to have a few extra locker because you never know when they may be needed.

I got this watch last November and love the watch. I had mixed feelings after ordering it due to a few reviews I read. But I love this watch. I got the one with the orange band. If you are a clean freak you will have to get over the fact that the band does show dirt. All the features thus far have been super accurate(must read instructions and set watch to altitude when it is given in and area) If you do that it is great. You must also take the watch of to get an accurate reading of the temperature. I haven't found a watch yet that reads the temperature accurately on the wrist. So that is just part of it. Highly recommend this guy.

It is great layer to add to my closet. It works as a light jacket as well as just a top. I am 6'3" 195lbs and I went with a Large. I used it this past week in Ouray for a layering piece over my thermal shirt and then just my jacket over it. Kept me warm..

I love this guy. I always gave people who had gaiters a hard time. After wearing these guys after a fresh snow, I was sold. Kept snow out of boots and also kept my crampons from snagging my pants on those long climbs. A must have for all winter sports people.

I got this jacket for my wife and it fits very true to size with her height and weight. It is slim fitting and very comfortable. She loves to wear it in casual settings.
