The Eagle Lite Protect Pro Dry is no doubt a high-quality piece of equipment that offers some of Edelrid's visionary innovation in the field of dynamic climbing ropes. It strong cut resistance will allow you to consider a thinner rope in environments where rope cutting is of particular risk. In the UK it is maybe a bit of a niche product as we don't tend to climb on single ropes in the mountains where these risks are much more apparent. Therefore, the additional price tag may put many off...." go to full review

Looking at both the carabiner and sling as one unit, the Pure range is a really good all-rounder sport quickdraw. There has been a marked improvement from the previous iteration which make this a good sport draw to consider. There are some draws on the market, such as the DMM Alpha Sport and Wild Country Proton that are more suited for hard redpointing where weight is not a concern, a sturdier grab-able draw is good to have and top-end clipping action is desirable. But the Pure range bridges..." go to full review

If you've got this far it'll come as no surprise to learn that I've loved the Generator and (to a lesser extent) the Generator Mid. This is the shoe that I'd hoped the Maestro might be, but wasn't, and balances performance and comfort remarkably well, with a lot of ability to edge, jam and smear. Whilst some will find themselves drawn to the Generator Mid, this is undoubtedly the more specialist of the two, may be best reserved for big wall and crack climbers. The Generator is a much more..." go to full review

The Helios is a definite cut above your average all-round workhorse harness, with nicely sculpted and cleverly padded waist and leg loops that make it particularly comfy without excess bulk or weight. Sadly it is let down a little by the gear loops. For trad use in particular these seem slightly under-sized, while I find their positioning just a bit further back than I'd prefer. This may be influenced by fit and sizing, so it's something to look out for when trying this model on. In all..." go to full review

I got the Flyers Mid expecting it to be quite a specialist shoe. Perhaps it is, but what's actually impressed me most about them is how much of an all-rounder they are and as a result of this, they're a shoe I've reached for more often than I expected. They're supremely comfortable, handle brilliantly on a wide variety of different surfaces, and offer a good amount of protection and support. The fact that they're built to last, both in terms of its construction and the way in which the shoe..." go to full review

In terms of performance, the uppers have proved comfortable and robust for hiking, crossing scree and climbing in. I’ve been using them for most of the summer and they are showing little signs of wear, I am a heavy user as I am out regularly. I have noticed some small nicks to the EVA midsole – but this would be perfectly normal in the terrain I venture out in. The generous toe rand is perfect for scrambling and adds an element of water resistance for that occasional unavoidable large puddle..." go to full review

Any downsides of this harness? Well, just one really. The gear loops. It has 4 gear loops, 2 on each side, both of which are well placed. However, they are annoyingly tiny, unless you have only a few clean nosed quickdraws (normal karabiners snag very easily). It seems a shame that it doesn’t have 4 slightly bigger, fatter gear loops which would mean racking and organising gear (even just a big rack of quickdraws) would be simple.go to full review
