Review Title

By Peter Gram November 13, 2009

I've been using this harness for a few months, and I have mixed feelings about it. I would describe it mostly as a sport harness, which doesn't work as well for trad/aid/ice. The leg loops are quite snug on me, and I have a moderate to small build. On the positive side, this harness is extremely light and packs smaller than any other I've seen. This would make it a good harness for summer alpine routes (winter alpine/ice climbing wouldn't work well with the tight non-adjustable leg loops). The WST fabric does do a good job of distributing the weight, so it is pretty comfortable. One other weight saver is there is no load bearing loop on the back for taglines - there is just a little plastic loop big enough for a biner. The self-locking buckle is great, it makes it very fast and easy to adjust the harness.
