Cheap, and functional

This bandolier is excellent for the money, it has 4 separate gear loops, so your gear does not all bunch up like on other cheap 'gear slings' and you get get at it quickly and easily, and makes handing the rack to the second on multipitch routes a doddle. If like me, you have a small waist, racking lots of gear on long routes is much easier with a bandolier, and this is about half the price of similar Yates, Metolius or BD products.
Not available at many places, I got mine from eBay. It probably won't last as long as a more expensive equivalent, and its not rated, so you can't use it as a sling in an emergency but at this money who cares? Buy an extra sling, (and a pint or two) with the saving!
Great value, very functional piece of kit, if you need a bandolier, and can get one, I would get one of these!
