This is a great light, not only is it real lite but it pushes together so its pretty small. I hang it in the tent with a carabiner and it lights the tent perfect and has a f…

I've had this lantern for over a year and it has come in handy plenty of times. It's good for the usual camping, especially cooking in the dark. I even use it at home if the…

I love the dimming feature of this lantern, and the compactability, but now the 'on' button won't stay compressed, so this lantern only stays lit for about 15 seconds. I'm bla…

This lantern is extremely compact! It is so bright it lights up the whole tent or campsite. It is the perfect light to bring on any camping or backpacking trip. Buy It! You wo…

In my opinion, these are probably the best all around cams you can buy. I own every size C3 and every size C4 from 0.3 to 4. The largest sizes are really only useful for certa…

If you are looking for a do-it-all, one quiver cam, this will be it. Wide range due to the double axle, making it really easy to find a good placement. There is a reason why t…

I think it is great to be able to switch out the hammer and adze for whichever you will need. The handle allows you to maintain a solid grip longer than you could with any cla…

Black Diamond is the standard in rock climbing equipment. The harness is lightweight and fairly comfortable. The leg straps seem a little chinsy but I did like the fact that t…

Awesome headlamp! One nice bonus is the lock mode which prevents it from turning on when it is in your pack. Very bright, settings are easy to use, battery life is good as wel…

It has so many features! The brightness is adjustable, you can turn it to red, and you can make it flash. The light can be bent downward so you're not shining the light direct…

I'm not impressed with these after a year or so. I broke one of them descending normally and repair is not possible. The grip is OK and I love the straps, but they do vibrat…
