The Metolius Curve Nuts are very impressive. They fit great in almost every placement. The only problem I've found with them is that they can be a little to fat for skinny placements. They are not as skinny as the Advanced Base Camp nuts. The biggest plus about these nuts is that they are so light weight.

Quality vs. Price, these cams win hands down. Robot Cams are solid. Nice flexy stem for horizontal placements... The only problem I have with mine is that the number 1 seems to walk if I do not place a sling on it.

Fits head nice, better if worn with a helmet. The headlamp is also very durable, I've had mine for 4 years now and have dropped it many a time.

The only problem with it is that after worn for extended periods you will begin to have a sore spot on your forehead from the light. It is due to the elastic straps holding it on tight.

In my opinion, this is the best hat on the market. Very popular look and it is really confortable. It has an adjustment on the side of the hat so you can tighten or loosen the band inside the helmet without taking it off.
