I had one ofthe HMT Loading zone lines for a coupleof seasons it wasnt bad,quite supple and slick.The running line was very thin and a friend of mine thought it was a shooting head and he also thought it was a little heavy for the rod(6weight).Ihad been using it for a while and didnt notice but after changing lines(to S A ultra4)I noticed this as well.Not a problem really just an observation,it cast really well and layed nice and straight on the water and no probs with coiling either, Ifish year round so the line was used summer and winter alike.

a good allround line, low memory shoots well withh the added advantage of the colour coding so you know exactly when to shoot the line. i had one for a while and had no prodlems but now use a rio gold for th majority of my flating line work but also use a platinum floater when nymphing just works for me

Depends on which one it is, the loading zone HMT was nice, made by Rio as far as I know. The earlier HMT which was appantly Airflo made wasn't the best.
