How does this harness compare to the 2008 petzl sama harness? i'm looking for a harness that will do it all, i've been climbing in the old hirundos model (pre-neon green) and love it but need something a little more comfortable for the upcoming trad season and would like something a bit more comfortable for projecting sport routes. I know this harness will work for trad but will it be too bulky for sport routes when compared to the 08 petzl sama harness? thanks for your help

In my experience (and I still own a Petzl harness, and am still a big fan), BD harnesses are quite a bit more comfortable. Also, the Chaos is actually less bulky because of the fancy new polymer stuff that Arc'teryx started (BD calls it Kinetic Core Construction - whatever). Extremely low profile, even compared to the Sama. So lighter, more comfy and less bulky.... yeah, go Chaos.
