Doesn't fit me very well, so comfort is non-existant. The gear loops are too far forward so your draws end up in your crotch. It doesn't have a haul loop either. I just keep it around as an extra, don't use it myself.

When you first pick them up they look kind of goofy compared to alot of cams. But it ends there. Great finger crack protection. They seem to fit just perfectly and the super flexible stem keeps them right where you put them. My tax return this year will be spent on as many Aliens as I can get.

Very warm jacket. Got mine for $140 on sale. Packs down into the pocket for ease of carrying.

The larger sizes are great for large parallel sided cracks. You don't have to worry about the stem that way. The rigid stem make them easy to place but the thumb knob could use more texture. I fixed this with the tape I use for crack gloves. I also looped a strip around each end of the trigger bar for more grip there too. You also have to be very careful not to overcam them, I had one get stuck a couple of weeks ago. Overall, the price makes them hard to beat in the larger sizes.
