Five Ten Jet 7 Climbing Shoe

Five Ten Jet 7 Climbing Shoe

Rating for this product: 5 June 24, 2009

Awesome for indoor climbing and steep sport routes. This shoe has lasted me longer than any other shoe, especially for how much I climb in the gym (4-5 times a week). I could instantly tell the difference when climbing on the ceiling routes. My only complaint is that the heal can be a bit slippery if you're trying to do a hard heel hook, but you can't have the best of both worlds when it's so easy to take these on and off. Bottom line, if you want to improve your indoor climbing or bouldering, then these would certainly help you out. I wear 11.5 street shoe, 10 in anasazi, and also a 10 in these.

Great all-around

Five Ten Anasazi VCS Climbing Shoe

Five Ten Anasazi VCS Climbing Shoe

Rating for this product: 5 June 24, 2009

I love this shoe for all of my non-steep climbs outside. This is my go-to shoe for both slab and crack climbing. Some of the hardest routes in the world have been climbed in these shoes, so you can't blame the rubber. I usually wear a 11 or 11.5 street shoe, so I sized these down to 10. They are a bit tight at first, but they conform to your foot very quickly. Bottom line, if you're not planning on doing any crazy overhangs, then these would be a very good choice.

Not worth it.

Evolv Evo Climbing Shoe

Evolv Evo Climbing Shoe

Rating for this product: 2 June 24, 2009

I bought these shoes expecting them to break in within a few sessions. Well, they were equally painful through the entire time I owned them. This is contrary to all other shoes that I have owned. They were alright for indoor climbing, but the rubber was awful for outdoor in my opinion. The topping on the cake for these shoes was that they smelled worse than any other shoe that I have ever smelled. I don't know if it's the rubber that evolv uses, but I had to throw them away after only 2 months. In conclusion, go with another shoe!

Mountain Hardwear Dome Perignon Beanie

January 6, 2009

I have pretty short hair, and my Dome Perignon produces a noticeable amount of static. It doesn't bother me because I can't really mess my hair up, but I am sure it would be frustrating with longer hair.

Pricey

Mammut Bionic Mythos HMS Carabiner

Mammut Bionic Mythos HMS Carabiner

Rating for this product: 4 December 29, 2008

This is an expensive locking carabiner, but it definitely looks cool and does the job. The design allows the gate to open wider then on other biners, but I haven't had the need to fit that much material in at once. So if you want to spend an extra few bucks for a cool looking carabiner, then more power to you.
