Bought this harness for my girlfriend, she liked the fact that she didn't have to double back the strap on the harness. Got it in blue and it looks great with most climbing wear.

Bought this harness for my wife after she returned the Petzl Luna because of discomfort. She immediately noticed that this fit her much better and wasn't nearly as constricting as the Luna. I liked it because it's cheaper than the Luna by about 20 bucks! The speed adjusters are awesome for getting ready quickly and is very comfortable.

Alexander,

That's interesting. My wife felt the same way about the Luna, but after trying on the Primrose she was sold. I love when less expensive products are better.

I got this harness with a little hesitation because I had seen it used by others and it seemed flimsy and thin. I tried it on in a store and it felt better than it looked. We bought the harness and I've used it a few times now. It is very comfortable. I tend to belay for guys much bigger than me and with my old harness it would hurt my inner thighs when I lowered them and heaven forbid they had a hard fall. This harness did not have that problem. At least one fall has happened while belaying, and it did not leave me tender in the nether region. I had to get a small for my waist, but it takes some coaxing to get it over my thighs, but in the end I like it being a bit more snug there.

Surprisingly Comfortable

I got this harness for my wife when she decided that she wanted to start climbing with me. You can't really beat it in terms of value. Great first harness.

Great value

I bought this harness a few months ago and it is my first harness. I bought the XS size and it fits fine for now. The only problem I have with it is that the leg loops are pretty small. They fit me right now, but if my thighs grow at all the leg loops will be too tight. They do adjust, but they don't adjust enough. I have a very slim waist, but my thighs are kind of big because I practice jujitsu. If you have muscular thighs you might want to go to a store and try this on before buying it.

Other than the sizing issue it is great. My climbing buddy is about 50 lbs bigger than me, so when I used to rent harnesses, they would be kind of painful when he fell. I don't have that problem with this harness. A harness will never be the most comfortable thing, but as far as harnesses go, this one is pretty comfortable and the price is good too.

This is the first harness that I have owned. I have used several types in the past that my friends owned. The sizing turned out great and I love the adjustable leg straps. I have climbed in it several times and it feels very secure. Overall, I am really glad that I bought this for my first harness.

I purchased this for my wife so she didn't have to keep borrowing her brothers and she loves it! The peacock color is great on her and she appreciates a comfortable, easy to adjust harness she can call her own.

This harness is probaby the most comfortable harness I've ever used. It also comes in really cute colors (since most climbing gear so manly). It's also a lot more affordable than some of the harnesse I've seen around. I don't regret buying it at all. I definitely recommend it.

This harness runs VERY large. I ordered a S after measuring myself and consulting the size chart, then had to exchange it for an XS. Even with the XS, I don't always feel secure even though I've tightened it as far as it can go. I can still fit about a fist in between my belly and the harness once it's there.

As for the black elastic bits, they're VERY hard to adjust. Plan on spending a long time getting them just right.

Then when you've got it ready to go? The flared shape of the whole structure leads to a lot of riding up.

All in all, this harness is lightweight, but I felt a lot more secure and comfortable with the rental harnesses in the gym.

This is the women's version of the Black Diamond Momentum SA. A solid pick for a first harness. You definitely wanna pick this Speed Adjust version over the AL; The quick adjusting and no hassle buckles are great for getting this on and off.

Our daughter (12 years and 68 lbs.) is getting into climbing. Would this be a good fit for her? We'd like to get something that lasts a few years.

I quickly realized the rental harnesses weren't going to cut it and set out to find my own. As I'm just getting into climbing, I didn't want to drop a ton of money. I had tried on the Petzl Luna, but for the life of me, couldn't get a good fit around my athletic thighs. This was a much better fit, and the speed adjust is awesome. I would have given it 4.5 stars if I could, the half start taken off for the sizing. I first tried a small based on the chart, but could not get it over my hips. Once I squeezed through it fit on my waist (28") just fine, but I wasn't willing to do that dance at the gym every time I got in and out of the harness. So I ended up with a medium, and I have to cinch the waist all the way. This still leaves some room and when I hang it pulls up a bit, but not obnoxiously so. Other than that, it's really comfortable and I'm happy with my choice!

This is my first climbing harness and I love it! I got the small, I'm 5'3 and 115lb. I have a short torso and it fits me great! It's very comfortable and easy to adjust. I got the Rasberry color and it's color is true to the image. I'm looking forward to warmer temps so I can go climb outside!

Based on the size chart, I got the S, but I really need the XS. I'm 5'4 and 125lbs with a long torso. When I tightened it all the way, I still had a couple inches of space left between me and the harness.

After learning more about climbing and using this harness regularly, I must agree with @biketobrew, I definitely should've gone with an XS. I can cinch this harness all the way up and it fits but not tight enough. I would not feel safe being inverted in it. I will be investing in a smaller harness!

I went ahead and got this for my girlfriend and it's her first climbing harness.

She really likes the shape of the waistband and finds it pretty darn comfortable to hang in / wear. The leg loops fit her good on the small and she's got some larger thighs for her waist size of 28in (don't tell her I said that). She does have to crank the waist belt down all the way for the small to fit her above the hips. Though the sizing chart BD provides on backcountry's site seems very accurate.

She doesn't lead yet, but people seem to like the gear loops just fine and since they're all the same on the newer BD harnesses I'm guessing she'll like them if she ever decides to rack some gear up.

Overall it's got a lot of ventilation holes in the sides of the waist and legs and seems nice and padded with limited pressure points. BTW Ink/Peacock color is true to the website. The Ink color looks black, at least until held up to something else that's black, as it's actually a very very dark navy blue. The Peacock blue color is accurate on the site and is a very bright turquoise color. She loves it!

I'd originally gotten her the Medium Primrose (non speed adjust) and it was too big, even if it was cranked all the way and then some. This small one's a much nicer fit for her with the added benefit of the speed adjust buckles which save her finger strength for climbing! Backcountry has an epic return policy and it was hassle free to exchange.

Get one!
