I use these shoes for outside, and so far they're great. The heel could be a little more aggressive, ie, cup the heel of the foot more, like my Hookers. Feels like the shoes might slip off doing a heel hook.

These shoes are great and perform very well on everything. I use them in the gym only because of the molded rubber; inside of shoe gets too hot and sweaty in the summer. They're narrow and pointy at the toe, great for small pockets. The only downside is that the rubber wears down fast. The dual density rubber should be smoothed out between the two layers. What happens is that when I turn my feet on a hold, the hard raised layer on the edge gets caught and pieces of rubber come off.

I have the older model. Good begginer's harness for the price. Performs well for all types of climbing. However, could use a little more padding/support for those hanging belays.

I think these are the best stoppers on the market in terms of shape and feel. I also like the colored plastic over the wires.

The chin strap is very anoying. I have to readjust them very time I put on the helmet. Otherwise, an ok helmet.
