Review 5 out of 5 stars

Their price was one of the best I'd seen, so I figured why not.

Customer service was great, no question there. They answered any questions I had and really knew what they were doing.

I sent in my shoes on Monday and they were back to me on Thursday - so definately fast.

I had them resole my La Sportiva Mythos shoes and the new Trax rubber was WAY better than the original rubber. Very impressed. They managed to repair the rand and do the resole in a way that added support to the shoe, increased it's edging a good deal but still smeared just as good if not better. I waited to write this review for six months to see how they wore and frankly I'm very impressed. For how sticky they are I expected a short life, but what I got was them outlasting my originals by a good margin.

After trying the new Trax rubber I'm definately sold. Way to go Brian - good stuff all the way around.

Easily the best chalkbag that I've used or seen. It has all of the options that you'd like, such as the zipper and waist belt, and goes beyond expectations to include a clip for skipping having a carabiner and such. It's light and cheap. It does what you ask of it and even with big hands it still dips very eaisly.

Pretty standard ATC style belay device. Does what you ask. Does it well.

Very nice biner overall. Notchless, but far cheaper than any other notchless on the market. Pretty refined lines, fairly light.

Very light, very smooth action and best of all cheap!

Whats not to love? It does have an unusual trait, the locking gate takes twice as many turns to lock as normal but it feels so smooth it's amazing.
