Does anyone have an opinion on the Dirtbag quickdraw. They are undercutting everyone but there's not much point in
saving a few bucks if you don't live to spend it on something else.

Also interested if anyone has ever dealt with Mountain Gear online (mgear.com). Thanks...

Don't know, but I would rather spend a little bit more to get petzl/BD keylock biners for the draws I use most of the time. Cheap draws might be cool for a project set though.

mgear is cool, and if you order through a link here, you get a discount, and the RRGCC gets some money.

I've ordered lots of stuff from Mountain Gear with no issues. Their online advise service is very good as well. The few times I've used it, the person at the other end was very knowledgable.

We have 12 of the dirtbag qd's and they're excellent, imo - a little heavier than most qd, but it makes me feel like they're more durable. They've taken a lot of abuse and are still in great shape.

As for mgear, we order most of our stuff from them (another site is gearexpress.com)... no complaints overall.

If you need something in a hurry be aware of UPS shipping zones. They are in WA and it takes a good 5 business days for orders to get here (KY) once the order is shipped.

I just had a big issue with Mgear...

and unless they have another super sweet deal where I really need the gear I will never buy from them again.

details?

I recently ordered some draws from mountain gear. I had no problems with their shipping or service. They saved me a lot of money.

I've never had problems with either mgear or gearxpress.

If you're looking for some project draws, check out Trango's five packs. 5 draws for $50, and I wouldn't feel to bad if they got stolen.

I order a lot of my gear from mgear.com, never had a problem. Pretty timely delivery and the occasional good package deal.
