Hi I'm tim with the outdoor gear exchange today we're going to talk about the zone harness from black diamond comes in men's and women's big. Difference with the women's slightly different fit it's a really great. Full-featured lightweight sport climbing harness very thin through the waist and. Legs so it's very low-profile out of the. Way when you're pulling those hard moves uses the same technology in the solution. With three pieces of webbing coming through here so for a lightweight harness it's actually really comfortable. It's great having a harness these days you can put on four send burns on a. Really hard project but still hang out in will your work in the moods you do. Have two full size gear loops so well. It's geared towards lightweight sport climbing if you climb a little trad you can get a light rack on there and there. Are ice clipper slots on each side so if you go ice climbing a couple times a year you don't have to get a new harness just for that it's not the best harness for hanging out at really long extended blades it's not most comfortable but. It's a lightweight sport climbing harness it gives you some flexibility it's a great way to go you can find this. And other great harnesses at our web-site gear xcom.

This is the Gregory jade 38 litre women's pack it is the perfect size for. Quick overnight trips or a long gear. Heavy day hikes it works for both. Because you can load it up to the gills with 35 pounds of gear or use the. Compression straps to convert it into a smaller pack when it's not full the back. System is breathable so it's ideal and. Hot humid climates and the shoulder straps adjust for the perfect fit let's. Dig into how it carries the load this. Has a free float suspension system with open air ventilation the wire frame is. Made of alloy steel and fiberglass and. It is designed to move and flex with you as you hike there is a horizontal stay. To provide additional stability under the weight of a heavy load there's also a frame sheet for additional lightweight rigidity the shoulder straps adjust up and down the frame and the pack comes in. Two torso sizes so you can find the perfect fit the foam and the shoulder. Straps and the hip belt is supportive and the major contact points on your. Lumbar area hip bones and the top of. Your shoulders are cushioned for comfort. Gregory's 3d comfort cradle system hugs. Around your lower back to give even distribution of weight it lessens the. Chance of hot spots and makes a big difference when you're carrying the pack all day long there are many accesses. Points into the pack body this is super helpful when you need to grab a piece of gear quickly and it makes packing and unpacking simpler the double zipper. Pulls let you position an opening wherever you want so virtually nothing in your pack is out of reach if you put. Both zipper sliders at the top you can open this whole panel with one motion. The attached lid has two pockets one up. Top that's perfect for a first-aid kit and one underneath that houses the included rain cover for quick access there's a hydration sleeve inside and a. Port to route the hose to the shoulder straps those are sold separately you can. Carry extra water on the side pockets and the stretchy panel in the front is a great place for your rain check the hip belt pockets are oversized for. Larger smartphones and there's a convenient place to stash your sunglasses when you're hiking in and out of trees there are compression straps. Bungees and two loops to attach gear like trekking poles or tent poles to the. Outside the areas of the pack that see. The most wear and tear are reinforced like a double layer of fabric on the bottom and an extra durable material on. The corners of the frame this is a great. Option for long day hikes or quick.

Ready for a weekend of backpacking or extended trips if you're packing light. The Gregory jade 53 litre women's pack. Is perfectly balanced between light. Weight features and all of those other. Features that you're looking for organization and a pack that's going to. Carry a heavy load comfortably now. Unlike extended trip packs where they've. Got heavy features this has really. Stripped-down features lightweight materials those materials are also very durable and strong and the suspension. System here really gives you the ability. To carry the load so I'm going to turn the pack around and talk about the suspension system I've got Gregory's cross flow dts suspension system and. Again it's pretty lightweight it gives. You a lot of ventilation with this. Tension back panel you can see all of that mesh there and i can put my hand. Behind it so you know that you've got all the ventilation that you need behind the scenes there you can see a cross pattern for the frame that is a. Lightweight spring frame and what i like. About that is it gives the rigidity that you need in the pack to give stability and to transfer the weight of the load to your hips but it will move with you. Because it's the cross pattern it will flex a little bit as you move so this pack doesn't feel boxy it feels like as you move going up and down hill it's. Going to move with you and then you as well. Have behind the scenes a hdpe frame sheet that gives rigidity to but it's. Nice and lightweight now you have a va. Foam where you need it there on the lumbar pad it's a really comfortable lumbar pad and then behind the shoulder. Straps you have die cut foam that foam. Keeps you comfortable and unlike lightweight or ultra light. Weight backpacks this foam gives you plenty of cushioning so really. Comfortable cushioning on the shoulders and a lot of cushioning on the hip belt and the hip belt does have a little bit of rigidity to it too so it definitely carries the load well now. Obviously you've got your load lifter straps up here that give you some adjust ability this comes in three different sizes so you can't actually adjust the harness up and down but you. Can use the those load lifters to dial in the fit and just choose the. Particular size that's right for your. Torso in addition to the adjust ability. There you do have an adjustable sternum straps you can move that up and down. While I'm on the back of the pack you do have a hydration sleeve inside the pack. You can route the hydration hose out through the middle here and you even. Have a little catch here for the hose on. This side now the hydration system itself isn't included, but they do give. You this smaller pack this can be hung. Inside of the backpack as the sleeve for. Your hydration system but you can as well. Take it out and use it as a summit pack you've got really lightweight and stretchy straps here so those are comfortable the material here is nice. And lightweight so it doesn't add a lot of weight to the actual pack but you can use this as a day pack if you're just. Summoning a peak you can use this to. Take some stuff with you or if you're traveling and you're just going out for the day that you can throw some essentials in this pack there's daisy chain attachments on the front a small zippered pocket there on. That pack so it's a really nice feature. That again doesn't add a lot of weight to the pack that adds a lot of value the. Pockets and organization are streamlined. And simple but it gives you all the. Organization you need on the front of the hip belt you have nice big pockets i. Can see these accommodating any size smartphone you can see this mesh pocket. Here stretches out really big you could put a small camera in there or something like that so really good size pockets. There and then on the lid you have the access into the. Back I've got a first aid kit in their so items you want to get your hands on quickly or lightweight items can be. Stored up there on the side of the pack. You have two very stretchy meshes pockets big enough to accommodate any size water. Bottle I've got a 32 ounce water bottle. In there and it fits well you've even got a compression strap on the front so you can compress that down and if you're. Just going on an overnight or a short trip you've got compression straps all over this pack to make the load a little bit smaller you have a full-size lid here. And you can store lots of gear in there so then that gives you access into the. Body of the pack there's even a small hidden pocket back here and that's a. Great feature for travel you've got really easy access into the top of the pack with a nice big opening that's. Really easy to use and i found that this. Pull handle is really nice as well so there're little attentions to detail make. A big difference it's all the access you need into that big pocket then you do. Have access in a couple more areas so. Something i really appreciate about this pack you have a nice big u-shaped zipper. Here where you can access all the gear. That you need that's in the middle of your pack it's tucked away back here so. It doesn't add a lot of weight to the pack but as you can see i can open that. Up nice and wide almost like a piece of luggage and get to all the gear that's in the middle of the pack so i can grab for whatever i need if you're traveling. With this pack taking it overseas you can use it like that so really nice almost hidden pocket there. And then down on the bottom you have access into a sleeping bag compartment down there these zipper poles are so. Easy to use, and they make it nice and easy to get to the bottom now there is a. Divider in between the bottom and the. Middle of the pack but you can tuck that away if you need full access into the whole pack now also behind the scenes there is a. Hidden rain cover the rain cover is. Custom fit for the pack and it's in its own designated pocket right here so rain cover matches the pack and it. Adds a lot of value so you don't have to purchase a separate rain cover in the. Front a nice stretchy dump pocket too and then as you can see all over the. Front of this pack you've got two loops you've got straps here that you can. Attach a sleeping pad this is actually removable and you've got trekking pole bungees up here so there's plenty of. Features here you can use this pack in a lot of different ways but all of those. Features don't add a lot of weight to the pack, but they add a lot of organization and with all the features that you get here it's a really great value it would work in a lot of. Different situations from a quick overnight to a weekend to traveling overseas it's the Gregory jade 53 women's. Backpack. You.

Hi guys today i will be reviewing the last 40 the future at climbing shoes personally these are my go to shoes on a. Daily basis while climbing indoors outdoors it's a little bit different but more on that later known to most the. Futures are last 40 va's no edge state-of-the-art shoe that is the rubber. Edge found in traditional climbing shoes is illuminated for a more rounded shoe edge that is meant to promote closer contact with the rock it is a down turd aggressive shoe that is most often useful drink especially is kept cool my. First ballet shoes is all the blogs that i read inline mention that you have to relearn how to climb with no id shoes however the last 40 50 trees. Significantly improved by climbing from the get-go as i was able to gauge footholds i was on much better after two. Years of climbing what the future is no i choose i find it very difficult to switch back to any other shoe but i do find myself having to switch to other shoes under some circumstances although the future to serve their purpose on all the types of interval during this includes subs this certainly isn't the case outdoors especially when you're not on rock formation despite the three. Millimeter vibram rubber on the last four team of futures which is one of the spookiest rubbers that you can get slabs and top house become increasingly difficult outdoors i found out the downturn the shoe in combination with you know edge give very little leverage when smearing some claim that this. Actually should be better for smearing but i certainly found otherwise when climbing outdoors and when I've tried on other shoes which are less aggressive I've had much better experience climbing slabs and popping out the biggest criticism might have for the last 40 to future is actually the fast lacing system although the lacing system itself is great lace tears down quite quickly and can actually tear in a lot of cases this pair is an old pair that i used to. Wear and I've worn them for six months I'll demonstrate the problem on them so. As you'll see here the lace is a little. But torn and that's because it rubs against the middle island would be fastening the lace causing way down a trick i found a strap sellotape around the lake area which is most often conflict with the eyelid which is this bit for me right here and this should reduce the laser region but as it turns out veal asked for cheaper solutions and geniuses also have similar problems with their lacing systems so don't let this discourages you for buying this shoe the owners and criticism i have for this shoe is that the friction on the heel is lacking group wise leaving much to be desired. However the fit of the heel itself tightly wraps around your foot almost giving you a suction like fit and you can definitely expect it to not slip off overall i5h is extremely comfortable and. Soft they take very little time to break in and compassion to other shoes, and they really fit like a glove i only have to side down one european size but I've talked to others who have to side down to sizes at most though but i think that. Largely depends on your poor shape i have quite an arch foot in comparison to others who have flatter feet and are more prone to stretching out the shoe these are my favourite climbing shoes and i would highly recommend them for anyone looking for an everyday interval during shoe.

the shoe we've got a board lasted construction so that gives the shoe a lot of really good stiffness and torsional rigidity so it's going to maintain its edging power and climbing

Hi katie here is get out their magazine. This is my review of the arc'teryx conseal fl approach shoe the conseils. Have lots of great features my top three. Would definitely be vibram soles nice. Long lacing so you can get just the. Right tension and to grab loops to help. You really get your foot in there the. Con seals are super awesome they're really grippy issues are great they'll. Totally get you to the top or the bottom of your climbing area I've been rock hopping climbing and even. Hiking in these shoes and overall. They're really awesome shoes they're. Lightweight they're super grippy, and they're you know decently comfortable on your foot you're nice and lined on the inside for me i. Find these shoes fit really narrow so. They are they're cut pretty. Narrow and i have a very wide foot so i. Am I finding them to be a little bit pinchy right here at the widest point. And i also found the sizing to be like. Totally out of whack with most other shoe companies for example i usually wear a 39 and that would equate too about. An eighth or an eight and a half these are a seven and a half us, but they are a. 39 and a third european so i got the 39. 1/3 thinking that would fit me i usually wear a 39 and i don't mind having a little extra room for my toes but my big toe on my big foot only comes. Up to right here so I'm not really. Getting to take advantage of the little rubbery end of the toe and when i. Have been climbing in them they my feet. To sort of slide forward and backward a little bit i also found the back gave me. A fair bit of pressure when i was taking in them it's not really their intended use so do. Take that with a grain of salt also i think there's extra pressure because the soul is quite stiff and it's intended. To be that way of course so that you can edge and smear and you know really make. The most out of these shoes. Did i say yet that i love the color is awesome it's like great teal color goes with lots of things it's really subtle so I'm a really big fan, and they're just really like sleek and sexy looking so i have no. Complaint about shoe oh that it just. Doesn't quite fit my foot so that's all. Right there's lots of brands and styles out there so these shoes are awesome and. If they fit your feet you're probably gonna love them forget out their magazine I'm katie and that was my review of the arc'teryx concealed approach shoes for more info about these.
