I decided to get B5 once the climbing season is coming. I knew that this approach shoes does not has any coat against water and considering that I live in a country where it rains almost every day in summer I started to avoid using it during such season. But taking a look on this shoes I recognized that they are ready for all season. Well, in a few days a got lots of rain in delicated terrain and I felt really safe on wet slab. Even tough the shoes were completed wet, they didn´t lose any performance and the weight didn´t increase so much. The only problem that I noticed so far is some wear on the lace. I recommend this shoes for every one who needs extra performance in steep ground.

Good size and weight were the drivers for me to choose this biner for trad climbing. I´m using them with mammut dyneema sling and the business is going well. The gate has a good spring pressure (not hard like those from mammut) and for this reason I also use it in sport climbing. But during the first look I recognized that it´s finish is poor. Several marks of tooling and rough edge at the fixed end of the gate does not mach if the price. In my opnion, they should cost around 5 dolars instead of 7. I highly recommend mammut element as an optional.
