This is a super easy way to have more control over the daisy part of your aid system. Admitedly, they're nice for other things, but only being rated at 300 Lbs. (what's up with that?) I wouldn't want it to be a major part of my belay system.
My biggest complain was that with all the extra webbing between the locking buckle and the carabiner, I had a hard time tightening the thing down as far as I wanted it. Fully tightned, I could get about 5 inches from the top of my aider. Not cool.
So, I'm guessing I'll be using a fifi again for the spots when I've gotta get my crotch really really close to the gear. Aside from that, I did really enjoy how easy they were to adjust. only one handed, and works either way.

Great slings. I've got mostly these on my rack, and they've yet to show me a major downside. The only small complaint I have is they start to get fuzzy after only one or two uses, but I havn't had a dangerous amount of wear on one yet.

This is a great leashless axe, I really enjoy using it. It seems to be designed mainly for ice though, so if you're getting a pure mixed tool you might want to go with the Fusions.
I'm not too experienced though, so I could be wrong

These are pretty nice crampons. The ability to shift your front point(s) around is nice.
Only complaint is the front section: it balls up really bad. The anti-balling thing should help that a lot.

Wonderful draw. These are the choice for sport climbers. The nochless gate is awsome when cleaning and getting them off your harness to clip.
While a little expensive, they are worth the money.
