The Black Diamond Wiz Kid Harness brings your grom all the features you expect to see on high-end adult harnesses. Double-molded gear loops, tons of padding, Speed buckles, and detachable back straps give this harness the versatility to handle anything from a day in the gym to your kid’s first multi-pitch climb. Plus, Black Diamond understands that kids don’t want climbing gear that looks like it was made for kids. *For kids from 35-110lb.

Bottom Line: Ready for the next step.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Huge Help for a Little Climber!

By:
July 15, 2011

My 5-year-old daughter Faith has a tiny waist. We had to cinch the harness to its smallest size, but it works great. Faith was thrilled to have her own harness that didn't creep up or cut into her (the full body we had rented a few times wasn't working). She consistently reports the Black Diamond is comfortable, and I don't see her tugging at it after she comes down. She will be able to use this one for years to come.

i bought this for my 5 year old niece, who has a 19 inch waist, it fit perfectly and was extremely safe. there is no doubt the quality you expect from an adult harness is used on this kids harness; Black Diamond took no short cuts!

ps - my niece was the talk of the gym when she put on this killer harness.

Looks Good!

I got this for my 5 year old, he's on the skinny side so it was a little to big for him but we're saving it for when he grows a little. It's just like the adult harness in a smaller size, I'm sure it's going to perform just as well as the adult harnesses by BD.

I bought one as a gift for a kid who was that age and about that weight, and it fit him fine. Other than a full-body harness, this is the one to get.

I wish I had a harness like this when I was a kid!

By:

My kiddo loves this harness - from the gym to the crag, it performs flawlessly. No complaining ever of an uncomfortable harness, easy to adjust, and it seems to be wearing very nicely. Much better then trying to make an adult harness "do".

Great for the young'uns

By:

I got these for my twin girls with serious reservations as whether or not I should have gotten them a full body harness. Having said that, I am still glad I bought this for them, because it gave me the option to take away the modified slings I used as a chest harness the first few times. Now that they use the harness exclusively - once they gained a little more confidence - we have started actually using the gear loops for holding quickdraws. However, if you are a parent, I would definitely weigh the options yourself as to whether or not you should buy your own kid a full body or a normal harness.

Very asjustable

I bought this for my son. He is about 70 lbs. He love this harness, very comfortable. We also take his sister climbing, who is about 45 lbs. The harness fit her great as well. It goes on easy, and the kids feel very safe in it. I see plenty of room for this to grow with my son. Am very happy with this product, would buy one again.

Good kid harness

By:

I bought this for my 8 year old son. He had been using a full body harness since he was 2 and had finally grown out of it. He got this harness and loved it. He is now super excited about climbing and has started leading (on a top rope). And he is comfortable. In fact he doesn't want to take it off when he is done. I am not sure how long this will fit him, as it is perfect right now. But for now, it is great.

I bought this harness for my five year old girl instead of a full body harness. Great choice. She loves it and she loves having a harness that looks like mom and dads.

It fits!

By:
February 15, 2010

I have these for my girls 5 and 7 years old. I had purchased the Black Diamond Momentum in XS as I had read other reviewers say that it worked for their kids ages 5 through 8. Well, it was a joke. The waist for an XS was still 3-5 inches too big on my kids. So I plunked down the money on these and it's good. The BD Momentum did not have adjustable leg straps. These do. The only thing that I would have liked to have seen on this harness, would be to have velcro for the front like my BD Primrose AL.

Awesome harness.

I was nervous about the harness being to small for my daughter, but it fits great on her. She's tall and skinny like me and the harness fits snug on her. Great size range!
