Metolius Prusik Cord Set
Not exactly a review

but don't buy these. I'm a huge fan of this site and Metolius both, but this is stupid. You're essentially paying a bit over $3 a foot for standard 6 mm cord when you should be paying about 35 cents. To give you some perspective, $19.90 will get you almost 53 feet of equivalent cord direct from Black Diamond and a full 100 feet direct from Metolius. Here you get a little over 6. If it's worth your money to pay 10-15 times what you need to for someone else to tie your knots for you, then knock yourself out, but this is a waste of money, and if you can't tie these knots you probably shouldn't be ascending anyway.

This is not "standard 6 mm cord." It is high-friction cord designed specifically for prusiks. I agree that it is expensive, and don't climb if you can't tie a knot, but please don't review a product you obviously have not inspected.
