The Bear vs. Man (often abbreviated as BvM) is the signature series return top of Boyd Seth, produced by CLYW. The first production run was silver with a green splash anodized finish. At a time when Caribou Lodge did not produce large quantities of return tops, the BvM stood as the first wide-release high-end modern large bearing metal return top to feature a splash anodization. While other metal yo-yos before it did sport splash anodization (such as the legendary SB-2), the technique was not widely embraced as a default color option until after CLYW and their BvM brought it into the mainstream.
