My Favorite Assisted Locking Belay Device As of Now

Pros
Light
Small
Simple to Use
Cons
Hair Trigger Release Handle
It Might Pinch Your Rope More Than Other Devices

I bought my first Cinch in Sept of 2006. We used it for top ropping only until I figured out the special holding position for lead belaying. Now it is my favoriate device to lead belay with. It allows me to payout the rope really quickly without locking up. For some reason I always have an issue with locking up the GRI GRI when I do quick payouts during a lead belay. With the Cinch I am guaranteed not to short rope you.

No Qualms With This Helmet

Pros
Light
Hard
Pretty Comfortable
Cons
Not the most attractive looking helmet because it sits high

I have owned two of these helmets and have been completely happy with everything about it. Need a helmet and don't have any specific criteria for what you need to wear, than just grab this one. It will meet your every need.
