Not too bad. Not as good as Tech Friends though. Maybe they've changed them since I've bought them, but over the years mine have become rather stiff. It doesn't impede the use of them at all though. One has become bent and refuses to straiten out (the cables). Not a big deal unless your going for a long reach or tight placement. Hasn't affected safety or usability. An open loop sling would be nice. They havn't let me down yet.

I'm very happy with these. I've got the full set (all 4), and might even buy a second set. The double looped sling is great. Extended or not, it's supple enough to help keep teh cam where it's supposed to be. Mine are relatively old, and have been used nearly every time I climb, and Iv'e had no problems with the durability. I've fallen on all but the smallest, and they held like a champ. Even took a 20 footer on the red one and it dind't even flinch. No problms wiht the plastic tail on them either. It's held up jsut fine. For the price, they're hard to beat IMO.
