Great Product
I've seen many reviews describing the big tricams as boat anchors, something heavy and bulky. Nothing could be further from the truth. These are lighter than cams, and the three largest sizes nest together into a compact package. I take a loop of bungee cord and slide it through the holes in the 5,6, and 7 tricams to make one compact set of gear. The bungee cord gets used as a constant tension loop so using 2 large tricams in opposition works as active protection as strong or stronger than 2 cams. It is way more compact than carrying a set of 3,4, and 5 inch Black Diamond C4 cams (which won't even fit in my pack alone). As for the rest of the cams, I like the 3 and 3.5 for midrange. 4 is heavy. Anything under a 3, cams and nuts work fine for and work better for teethy cracks. The red #1 holds the best and is easy to clean. The pink is a pain to extract.[ReviewDat
