Bought 24 of these to re-rack my alpine draws and shaved 1.2 pounds from the weight of my rack. Might not sound like much, but every pound counts. These 'biners have a snappy action and while a little smaller than a standard draw carabiner, are easy to work with. The price was right and I am stoked to be using them.

Plus they match my jacket, and as we all know, gear is about fashion ;)

This harness is absolutely ideal for what it is intended: Glacier Travel.

While not the absolute lightest harness on the market, it still does a mean job, coming in at a mere 230g. If wadded up carelessly, it is roughly the size of a coffee mug, and comes complete with belay and gear loops. This harness is much more comfortable than a traditional alpine bod harness, but still caters to the glacier-walker in all of us. Waist comes fully open and leg loops unbuckle allowing you to get this harness on over your crampons and all your puffy layers. Don't sacrifice pack space and weight by trying to use your sport harness for glacier--let the Culoir into your life, you will be well pleased.

I gotta admit, for an impulse buy, this is one divine helmet. Having seen that this lovely helmet came in a great, bright purple color, I decided to buy it (because everyone can use a 'spare' for when their friends visit, right???) and have been absolutely thrilled. I can now keep my ponytail up (instead of having to take it down and deal with the flyaway hair) since it has a ponytail slot. There is enough adjustability in the sizing that I can wear a hat underneath for cold days, and the straps stay in place once you've adjusted them.

Aside from how it sits a little high, my only complaint is that the padding in the headband is pretty thick. On a hot day, this is uncomfortable, but quickly goes to the back of your mind when working a climb. Definitely not enough to make me think I need a different helmet. Elia FTW.

This harness performs supremely well for gym climbing, outdoor sport and trad, and multi-pitch climbs alike. It is sturdily constructed and fits my dinosaur thigh/small waist combination like a dream. The slick nylon is easy to adjust, while the auto doublebacks grip to keep the adjustments where you want them. The waistband is mesh helping with air circulation; gear loops are easy to access and strong enough to withstand a heavy beating. I have been using my Luna harness for 3+ years and it looks brand new (minus a little dirt). I would definitely recommend this harness to all my dudegirls.

While this harness is QUEEN for rock everywhere, I would recommend something lighter and more compactable for glacier travel. Due to the doublebacks being sewn and a size more tailored to fewer layers, getting this puppy over crampons and thick layers is inadvisable.
