Matt Zia reviews the Edelrid Mega Jul for Blister Review

Edelrid Mega Jul Belay Device

The Edelrid Mega Jul offers an intriguing combination of assisted braking functionality and minimal weight, and though it’s not the best all-around belay device, it performs well in particular climbing situations.
Xan Marshland reviews the YT Capra AL Comp for Blister Review

2017 YT Capra AL Comp

The Capra is a very downhill-oriented bike that offers a huge margin for error when things go awry. While it’s not a do-everything Trail bike, YT succeeded in making the Capra a bike that does exactly what a lot of riders want out of their long-travel rigs. And compared to just about every brand out there, the bang for the buck that YT offers is unbeatable.
