Great harness for indoor climbing.

By:
September 21, 2009

For the most part I do alot of indoor climbing and this Harness is great. It's light weight, I can spend hours in it with no discomfort. The one down fall is if I intend to go outside and do any Trad climbing this is no good. It only has two gear loops which is fine for inside, when all you have on is an ATC and maybe a quick draw or two, but outside you would overload it with cams etc.

Also I am a 34 inch waist (in most pants) and the medium didn't come close to fitting properly I had to return it and get the large.

The Arc'teryx S240 would work as a trad harness, but the Arc'teryx R320 is better suited with 4 racking loops, and a rear haul loop for tag lines. I find the 2 loops don't carry enough gear unless you're running it out, or take a sling along. Both styles pack down really small.

Quality Harness

By:
August 31, 2008

I've had this harness for a little more than 3 months now, and after a summer of hard climbing it still looks like new. Beyond its good looks, it's proved to be comfortable even after hanging and belaying all day long. It weighs next to nothing and because of the slimness of the weave, it takes up almost no space at all in my pack. The only negative for me is the snugness of the leg loops. I have 24.5 inch thighs (M waist), and though fine in summer gear, I wonder how comfy it'll be over my fall clothing. Other than that, it rocks!!!

go for a medium if your 30" or more in the waist.Be sure to check the leg loop sizes, as well. I have a 31 inch waist and have a medium size harness. I end tightening up just about to the harness's limit, but a Small is not an option for me because my legs are muscular and the medium loops are already really tight.

i have the hurundos and would not recommend it.... after 9 months of hard wear the stitching is coming out in various points, i will be returning it. It is not good for hanging or working a route for more than 20 minuets. I will be getting the R320...

This harness is pretty bad ass. It is very light but surprisingly comfortable. I have taken many falls in this thing and it stands up to the abuse. Hard to beat Arc'teryx, for anything really. OK that said my main climbing partner climbs in the Hirundos and he loves it. Maybe one day we'll swap but I kinda think it would be like swapping wives... They both seem to be on par with each other except for gear loops, but the S240 has a better color in my opinion (not metro just that it's a bit loud for me.) Its a crap shoot. Id go with the one that's more comfortable to you.

As thin as bubble gum! literally!

By: Backcountry.com Employee
November 28, 2008

Don't waste your time on gear that really was last nights one-night-stand. I was at the climbing gym and found everyone walking up to me, including this hot little temptress saying, "WHAT!!!! This is insane!" I replied with a cocky swagger back, "Yes.. Yes it is... and that's why your gonna give me your number" This is literally as thin as a stick of bubble gum! Sure it's $100 and it should be more. I wore this harness all day, not one uncomfortable spot on it. Here are the SPEKS: The leg loops expanded nicely for my super-thick mt. bike thighs. My waist is a 34.5 And This fits perfect. If your smaller then a 34.5/35in go to the medium. Not gonna Lie.. I saw Spiderman wearing this harness yesterday. Now you know his secret. Gotta run,,, that girl is waiting for my call.

quick and easy

besides being very light weight, one of the best things about this harness is how fast it goes on. If trying to go fast, you could prob have it on and adjusted in under 10 sec. there is one buckle around the waste that doesn't require double backing. everything else is elastic.

Super-lightweight

By:

This harness is killer - so light, so small. Arc'teryx made an incredible harness, you hardly even notice you're wearing it. I've hung a while with no discomfort. Took my first lead fall and I'm still here! The two gear loops don't give you much to work with if you plan on anything more than a set of quick draws, but it is a sport harness after all.
