Before the die-hard Five Ten fans start to panic, the new Mocc still retains many of the characteristics we know and love from the original model. The shoe is still extremely comfortable, the iconic red upper is still made from unlined leather, and the soft construction still enables the shoe to conform well to cracks and foot jams. I am also happy to report the NIAD Moccasym still inspires confidence on slabs and other friction moves.go to full review
The first thing that caught my attention about the Crawe is its design. I know we are told not to judge a book by its cover – but when the cover looks this good – it’s hard not to. I’m sure we can all agree that the orange highlights on the all-black uppers looks absolutely awesome.go to full review
After 50 days of climbing in these shoes, there’s an almost endless list of good things I can say about Veloce. As with every shoe though, there will always be some give and take. The rounded toe box, which makes them so comfortable, has its troubles when it comes to smaller pockets. Its super soft construction obviously doesn’t perform as well on those micro-edges as a stiffer shoe would either. I also wouldn’t recommend taking these outside, or that super soft will disappear like a heart-..." go to full review
After my first day of testing, it became immediately obvious that there are some big differences to this shoe. The NIAD Lace has a far superior heel cup, which doesn’t just make heel hooking significantly more secure, but also allows for greater precision and better power transfer to the toe box. The new padded tongue is made of a breathable mesh that offers additional comfort whilst helping keep the shoe breathable. A toe patch has also been added to help NIAD Lace to tackle the nuances of..." go to full review
I liked the Mastia, but I think it's fair to say that I've loved the Indalo. Whilst they're ultimately very similar shoes, the Indalo feels like a step up. The fact it's capable of doing a bit of everything (and doing it well) should make this an extremely attractive shoe for someone that's looking to push themselves within a wide variety of rock types and disciplines. The downside is simply that, at £160, this is one of the most expensive shoes on the market. Maybe this is the way things..." go to full review

There have suddenly been a lot of gloves to choose from in the past few years, which we think is great for climbers. Because they are all around the same price, the options that most people tend to go for are the gloves that are the easiest to find from brands they see the most in the wild. For those who have already tried a particular glove, we find the most wanted gloves are the ones that either iterate on something they’ve already used like the Ocún Lite, or that are pointed at more..." go to full review
When it comes to the the bouldering pads most people want, Organic’s incredibly durable, full featured, fully customizable system are the most attractive to WeighMyRack users. However when we look at the most owned pads out there, we see a range of brands that are all filling a particular niche in the field, from impact absorption, feature list, and price point.go to full review
The Most Wanted helmets tend to be lighter, like the Sirocco and Vapor and/or are some of the better looking helmets. The Most Owned helmets tend to be those that are readily available at all the climbing shops, like the Black Diamond collection which dominates this list.go to full review
