Good and burly. Although they do have the problem of the steps twisting inwards.

These are good nuts. The #5 has been invaluable to me. Only downfall is the range is somewhat small compared to the BD. Still good stuff.

Managed to get these for a mere $29. I use these to supplement my WC nuts. The WC lack in the small sizes (unliked BD's) so these RE nuts were a great way to balance it all out. They have an old-school taper-design so it allows you to mix-up your placements well. Get them.

whoa mother i love the ovals. This is the kind of climbing equipment you just want to gather and the kind of gear your dream about having a couple hundred of the things. These are biners that you just need more of. The feel of them. The aesthetics. Everything about them is spledid. Great for anchor building, racking, clipping essentials. DAMMIT!

I've been using this for nearly 2 years and I haven't come across any trouble. I have the newer model of the bod... which consists of the belay loop and clips for the leg strap, they appear to be durable. Despite minimal padding around the legs, it is still comfortable, excellent value for money... i would strongly recommend this harness to anyone beginning or advanced...
