I took my large Base Camp to Iraq for a year, without failure. Overpacked is an understatement when I came home. This beast took all of my gear and kept the sand out. The…

I got this for the past school year; it still looks completely new even after almost everyday use (!!) the only real problem is it lacks back support that excels, it doesn't d…

All in all, Sterling's made a great rope here. Plenty light for working sport routes and the sheath stiffness makes clipping a dream. I do think I'll be retiring this ro…

I only just got this rope recently so I can't speak for its durability. However, right away the smoothness of handling was apparent both while belaying and when clipping. It p…

Nicely made and very fashionable for the teenage girl . It holds 4 1 .5 inch binders plus 1 giant textbook comfortably but the 2nd giant textbook is a squeeze. Lots of padd…

Ok, so this pack is a little on the heavy side, but it is awesome for backpacking trips. I have the 60L pack and it works great for 2-3 day trips. I could probably pack it be…

Way cool, way practical, way awesome. it's deceptively big...it holds a ton and doesn't look like you're carrying a small bolder on your back (meaning you can turn in a crowd…

This rope is obviously a good rope or it wouldn't be sold in the US. However, it is no the best rope on the market at this price. You can buy a rope with a much better UIAA…

Though i have only used the rope once it feels good in my hands and the amount of glue on the ends is promising that nothing will come undone down there... also i agree with t…

I was very excited to find a messenger bag that looked good and would accomodate a 17" laptop, however it barely fits one of my laptops. The curve in the base of the bag does…

It's a small pack. Smaller than I realized. But that's what I like about it. You can wear it and not know its there. My chalk bag, harness, shoes and gear all fit with room to…
