Staple of my passive gear.....they kick ass. Durable, don't weld, but always stay in place with a nice tug.
Can't go wrong with these, especially now that they are anodized and bigger!! Can't wait to wear out my old ones!!

Love this helmet!! I've owned only Petzl helmets, the last being the Elios Class, which broke from being compressed in airplane cargo (no surprise). I find the Camp Starlight equally airy (in terms of ventilation) and even less noticeable on my head. I don't find that I knock my head on overhead objects as much, the lower profile really makes a difference. In terms of durability I can't say much, no bombardments as of yet.
Great peice of equipment, worth every penny!
P.S. I forgot to mention the adjustment system. It's great! I especially like the extra adjustment at the chin strap for quick loosening when belaying or chillin......haven't seen a helmet with that before.

Love these cams.....being that they are basically WC tech friends but lighter, easier to handle and have the extendable sling. I love the WC techs, but I love these more. Great value for excellent gear.

Well priced, lightweight, long sling and well built. The only drawbacks are the short stem length. I find it too easy to get these buried when you're trying to get them that little bit deeper for peace of mind. I carry them as doubles to my WC Tech friends.

Good cams, fair price, I have almost all the sizes. They are the workhorse of my rack. After using other cams with thumb loops and extendable slings I would like to see WC do the same with these (like the zeros). Otherwise you can't go wrong with these babies.
