Q&A How can I tell if Chinese rock climbing gear is reliable?

Most (if not all) the big rock climbing brands do manufacture their gear in China - carabiners, cams, slings, whatever. Now, I stumbled on this: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/group/Climbings/14...

<p>Most (if not all) the big rock climbing brands do manufacture their gear in China - carabiners, cams, slings, whatever.</p>

<p>Now, I stumbled on this:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.aliexpress.com/store/group/Climbings/1453743_258307418.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.aliexpress.com/store/group/Climbings/1453743_258307418.html</a></p>

<p>It looks like well made gear and the price is interesting. 
The brand isn't well known though. I am very curious about Chinese brands and I feel like those devices may rival the most famous ones. But, I don't know for sure. Considering that most if not all production is made there, the Chinese must have the skill and the know-how.</p>

<p>How can I judge whether these products are reliable?</p>

<p>Thanks so much.</p>
