good harness, comfortable, easy to put on thanks to velcro waist you don't have to try to hold the strap in place while tightening it. it is wicked easy to double back also, although this might just be because all i have used in the past are rental harnesses. only complaint i have is that the legs just fit me, are almost too small while the waist when chinched all the way is almost too big. other than that the harness works great and also seems very durable.

these are my first pair of shoes and so far they work great- only been out in them 4 times so far so i cant say how well the rubber is holding up but the shoes work wicked well for edging and you can smear pretty decently in them. not excellent for bouldering, but decent. only bad thing is i've heard rumors about the shoes wearing out pretty quick, so if you climb a lot (like me) you might want to think twice about buying them (i didn't know this when i bought them, but i wish i had). awesome shoe for the price (70$)
