Now yer talkin...can't ever go wrong with any protection from BD. The only complaint I ever had was their cheesy trigger wires back in the day, but when they went single stem they evidently fixed that so...long live BD!!!

I have some. The action is a little stiffer than C4's, but I actually find them easier to place than C4's sometimes. I have not fallen on them, but have heard of people doing so. I definitely feel better with C4's below me, but maybe it is just a psychological thing, they have stood the test of time. I haven't heard any stories of cam failures for anything except for Aliens and OP LinkCams. So until a failure occurs, we can't really doubt them. They are tested and certified as far as I know.

I think they are the perfect supplement to a rack of more expensive brand names.

I was given the full set two years ago while in the CZ to try in the High Tatras. I liked them. I really liked the fact that I didn't have to give them back. Anyhow there just fine by me and for sure safe. The Czech's give the Swiss a good run for their money regarding being anal about all things technical.

Only the Czechs would come up with a beer bath. Bless them.

Not sure that's in good taste, technically.

I thought a beer bath was when I missed my mouth...

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
