Have been using this for 6 months now. Great harness indeed! I have used it for a couple walls and it was no problem at all. Infact, I use this harness for everything - even sport sometimes. This is definately a great all-rounder. Don't be suckered into the idea that a wall harness is only good for a wall. Tradding it is the king. My only complaint is that the leg loop webbing fluffs up abit quicker than I'd like. Problem is solved with a bit of cloth tape though.

Most excellent helmet. You really can forget you're wearing it. "Son, why are you wearing a helmet whilst watching TV?". The only thing I am weary about is the plastic adjustment straps. They feel flimsy. However, I trust the company to make some very decent and realtively long-lasting... so "N'arries". Picked it for $50.

It is what it is. Nothing special. However I have the older version of it where the ring is plastic instead of metal. No big deal. Buy it. If you are looking at an ATC without any clamp/teeth, any brand will do.

Handy piece of gear. I find the smaller mouth of this fifi to be much more secure when leaning out or top-stepping... It's kind of tricky to get used to and as jstp said, it's quite a fidget to find the right cord. If you don't use a 'less tight weave' I find the cord begins to twist and jam up the fifi, which is irritating. The only other thing to compare this to is the Lucky Adjustable Fifi - it looks similar though.
