Good, cost-effective battery. (EZ warranty too)
I paid $23.50 delivered for my Chrome YTZ7S; and it's a fantastic deal anywhere near that that price. I've only used it a month so far, but I've had no problem starting my Husky TE310 in the near-freezing weather.
The Yuasa that it replaced was 2 years old (I got the motorcycle in a crate; so the battery may have spent another year in the crate too). The Chrome weighs 4.6lbs, same as the battery it replaced. I had a very minor problem in that my bike used the edge of the battery nearer the positive terminal as a hold-down; the new battery has an indent (see picture) at that location- like many after-market YTZ7S's. For me, this was easily solved by using a piece of foam packing that came with the battery. We'll see how this holds up in the long run. It is an AGM battery also and has the same 130 CCA rating, but 6Ah compared to 6.3Ah for the Yuasa.
I will add to this review if I have any additional observations.
2017 November update: the battery failed after 11 months of pretty hard duty (900 hours runtime; estimate 3000 starts). The battery showed over 12 volts but even a 1 amp load would draw it down to 5 volts. The warranty is 18 months, and so I contacted Chrome. I paid them $6.50 for a shipping label and shipped the battery back to them. They sent a new battery, after testing the old one, fast. I am still happy.
BTW, I am incredulous of the 130CCA claim. I would guess (not tested) that it's about 100 or less.

Works fine
this clip-on chuck holds pretty well; works good.

Not Bad but size XL runs slightly small
I picked this jersey up for under $16 delivered- I think that was a great deal. Pretty good quality but not a lot of upscale features (I'm guessing it retails for ~$35, but don't know for sure). The XL seemed just a little bit small but still in the size range
