Does anyone know of reviews? How did they improve this harness from last year's?

Also: does anyone have a photo of them wearing this harness? I'd like to see it in perspective. Thanks. And thanks for the answers Phunk & Angus.

It's not on the website yet actually, but the Gear Guide issue of the magazine is hitting stores as we speak. Andrew Bisharat from Rock and Ice says it's the best harness he's ever worn, including the new Arc'teryx ones.

It's really a different harness this year. It uses the new thin style waist-belt and leg-loops, similar to the Arcteryx R320 harness that came out in 2008 or so. It's kind of silly that they kept the Chaos name, honestly. As for reviews, I know it won Rock & Ice magazine's Best In Gear award, so I'd imagine their site would have that review.
