Excellent headlamp. I have a standard Tikka Plus I keep in my climbing gear to prevent the last climb of the day from becoming an epic. Invariably somebody I climb with forgets their own... Great around the camp site afterwards. I loved it so much, I purchased the Tactikka Plus for military use.

Excellent headlamp. I use it for climbing, military use (red filter is perfect as is low light setting) and for biking (use the white forward to add some general lighting wherever you look or turn it around on flashing mode and drop the red filter across it to warn approaching drivers)

I also have a standard Tikka Plus I keep in my climbing gear to prevent the last climb of the day from becoming an epic. Invariably somebody I climb with forgets their own...

A little more expensive than BD, they are well worth the extra $$$. LIGHT! The shape included small depressions to slide on to or around crystals and it seemed they even had a camming motion to them when properly set. Bomber. I tried these out at Seneca alongside some standard BD nuts, some HB offsets and some Metolius rocks. My partner and I kept gravitating back to the Wallnuts. Awesome.

Light and quite comfortable. The velcro in the back is positioned with two sided tape which comes off and occasionally catching my hair, otherwise great!

First and second pair of shoes for me. I use them indoor and out. They seem to wear in the upper toe faster than I'd like but its also highlighted some technique issues I have to work on...am I really dragging my toe that much? I love them and haven't seen anything to make me want to switch...
