Black Diamond Momentum AL Harness

Item #BLD0289 | 0 in Stock

I'm a novice climber and am looking to buy my first harness....

By Ranked #459 - Men's Harnesses October 6, 2009

I'm a novice climber and am looking to buy my first harness. so far i have been climbing with a one size fits all type harness that has been incredibly uncomfortable and difficult to adjust. I am a REALLY skinny person and am having trouble finding a harness that fits waistwise. i tried on an XS womens primrose and it fit well in the waist while the small momentum overlapped when i got it to fit snugley. since Black Diamond doesn't make any mens XS harnesses what would you recommend I look for? i think i need at least a 27 in waist and a 21in or larger adjustable leg, any suggestions?

You could always try the Arc'teryx S240 Climbing Harness. It's light weight surprisingly comfortable, and is available in an XS. If it does not fit Backcountry always gives a full refund. The best thing you could do is try some on at a shop; unfortunately shops typically have a very limited supply. Hope that helps.

Pretty much my only advice for you is to go to a shop, and test out as many harnesses as you can. If all else fails, grab the Primrose. If it fits, then I see no reason why not.
