This bag has more pockets and and folders than I know what to do with. It looks killer and holds my laptop very securely. The floating padding adapts to fit most laptops. The shoulder pad isn't very soft is my only complaint.

Love 'em, super light weight, very breathable mesh. The rubber around the toes saves you from any unwanted stubs and bangs. I did have one of the lace gromets come out, but a little super glue fixed that.

This packs is fantastic!!!!! The light weight material makes for a very light backpack. The moldable back piece can easily be adjusted to fit most any back and the added gear loops on the belt make for a great climbing pack. You can tell Arc'teryx has done their homework because this pack has great weight distribution and suspension. If it's an all day or weekend excursion this pack will hold most everything you need.

Everything fits together very well, the grip works very. They work as well as what I use at home. Not the lightest, but worth the money. I'm happy with what I bought.

This rope rocks! Very durable and light weight, very easy to clip with and belay with. The pattern change is easy to see, essential when trying to find the middle mark in a hurry. What out using it in a Gri-Gri because it moves through it very quickly. I've only had it a month, but it seems pretty durable so far, we'll see how the summer climbing season treats it.

This shoe is built for Trad. It's much thicker than most shoes which adds extra cushioning when jamming your feet in cracks. The rubber around the laces does a great job protecting the laces when crack climbing as well. One thing I did notice is they were a bit warmer than most shoes, probably because they are thicker. If you're going to be in your shoes for long periods of time these are perfect.

This backpack rocks (so far). I'm fairly short 5'6" and the regular fit me perfectly. I had littl- to-no adjustment of the back support poles for it to fit my back like a glove. The gearloops on the belt are a great feature as well, especially when trad climbing. Lightweight and sturdy, would recommend it to anyone who climbs or backcountry skis as it would work great for either.

These skis rock! Unlike most twin tips these are very stable at very high speeds and love to go fast, very fast. If straight lining and cliff drops are your normal runs, these are the skis for you. When you strap these to your feet you can tell these are not for the faint of heart, it takes a little more effort to throw them around. They definitely love the pow and are built for big mountain. Ski the big lines like the pros with confidence, leaving you smiling from ear to ear. Once of the most fun skis I've ever ridden.

These shoes are great for over hanging steep routes or boulding. The dual density rubber makes for great edging. The aggressive heal makes for excellent heal hooking and traction, no other shoes compares in this aspect. I wouldn't use them for slab climbing, they are difintely meant for steep climbing.

These gloves exceeded my expectations. Not only are they great glove liners, but they can be used in any situation. The added grips make them great for driving, snow blowing, and even belay gloves. Most other liners are simply that liners, these can be used in most any situation.

This ski rocks in the pow, and provides excellent float. Try imaging a perfect park ski for pow days and here's where you'd find it. With a soft flex and massive girth under foot this ski makes every feature on the mountain seem like the perfect jump. Great in the deep stuff, also surprisingly quick and nimble on hard pack. If building a backcountry booter is your idea of a perfect day, then this is your perfect ski.

Having been a professional ski bootfitter, I know the importance of a high performance, functional ski boot, and this boot is it. The Krypton series unique tongue design allows for almost infinite flex which translates to better control, more stability, and more natural ski control. When a proper fit is achieved skin bang is virtually eliminated. Weather you are hucking cliffs or screaming down your favorite run, you will not find a better boot. I could have any boot on the market, but this one is as good as it gets.
