My draws are in a state and need replacing. Anyone got any recommendations for some good sport climbing draws?

Outside, Rock and Run, V12, Joe Browns and Needlesport would be a good start :P

I went for the Petzl draws as they have a nice fat tape and I seem to always get my fingers stuck in wire gates. They were however, expensive!
I believe Wild Country do some draws aimed at sport but I could be wrong.

petzl spirit are great for red-pointing (nice big handles), if you wanted super light-weight for on-sight climbing on some long cruxless euro jug routes the Black Diamond Oz are good (from personal experience).

These are tres bon value. Nice fat tape, solid and not a hint of nasty wire gates. Plus i think you can get 15% off through a premier post on UKC iirc.

Thanks all for the replies (except slack line with his UKC reply ;))
I went for the Petzls but made them up using the DMM pro clips which are currently going cheap over at Rock n'run. In case anyone else is interested in doing the same:

That's a saving of £52.50 for 10 (they retail whole at £16 ea), get in :thumbsup:.
