I'm beginning to wonder if they lose a little stickiness in the cold. They were brilliant euro sport climbing last summer and autumn with my magos (for me) easily outperforming my 5.10 stealth velcros, but over the winter this little niggly thought has been creeping in.
In an effort to confirm or deny the niggle I performed an incredibly scientific experiment at dumbarton doing the same problem in rockettes, magos and stealth velcros and honestly thought it felt much easier and more secure in the velcros. It was cold enough to snow that day.
I'm probably being a muppet and its probably just my crap footwork, but my crap footwork feels better in 5.10's in the cold.
Anyone got an opinion? (of course you have, whether it's related to the thread or not feel free to share ...)
Cheers
