Amazing!

By Ranked #348 - Men's Harnesses May 8, 2009

Simply put this harness is amazing! This is by far the best harness I have ever worn! I was previously climbing with the momentum harness by BD and let me tell you Night and Day! This harness unlike any other harnesses (except arcteryx) really wraps snugly around your waste. Once I started leading trad I was carrying a lot of gear and noticed that I couldn't keep my harness around my waste tight enough. The harness always felt as if it were falling off which made the weight feel awkward and heavy. Now I can barely even tell I am carrying any weight at all which makes it a dream on multi pitch stuff when you are carrying extra gear. Oh and hanging belays not a problem. Now even though this is the same design as Arcteryx i believe BD did a much better job. I have had the opportunity to wear both and where BD was better was that they added that tiny little bit of padding which really makes it amazing and allows it to hug your hips even better. You won't even know it is there. And for safety you are always double backed!
