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.
