Get a roll of tape instead

Flimsy

Comments about Trango Rack Tags:

These tags were not what I was hoping for. They did not adhere well to climbing gear, even metal. After allowing my gear to sit for 24 hours with the tags affixed, as the instructions stipulated, many of the tags were peeling off before I even used the gear. After one trip out climbing (2 days), several of the tags were wearing off! Just get a roll of electrical tape instead...

Comments about Trango Rack Tags:

I've been using these on my metal gear for about a year (not on slings and such). The tags stay on my gear, even if they get scraped up a bit. I'm in the desert, so this is mostly climbing in hot and dry weather.

Comments about Trango Rack Tags:

Overall great on cam stems and recessed parts. They don't hold up as well on oft used pieces and exposed areas and they get flakey after a few years of weather. 'Been through 2 sets in 5 years. Keep buying them because they're cheap and easy to apply. They keep your thieving partners from blatantly horking your pieces. " Oh this old cam, i've had this a while now".

disappointed

By Electrician's tape works better! from Ogden, UT on 6/19/2007

Pros:

Stretchy

Cons:

Don't stay on product

Describe Yourself:

Avid Climber

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Trango Rack Tags:

Heard great reviews about this product, but was sadly disappointed. When I first tagged my rack with these stickers I thought they were strong. But since have had problems with them staying on. This is especially true with my ice gear. Its especially weird that a Trango product won't adhere to Trango biners. They adhere more to my BD stuff but come off with any type of moisture.

Fits to Contours, Lightweight, Rugged

Comments about Trango Rack Tags:

These labels are very thin but strong and strechable. This comes in handy when applying so that you can strech them around the corners of things. They are made out of some sort of plastic and the color is throughout the material making it so the color is always there even if scratched.
