Doesn't Sag/ Break Down

By Christine Balaz Ranked #47 - Harnesses and Climbing Helmets March 8, 2010

I've been wearing this harness several times a week for about 15 months-- and, as described to me, this harness STILL hasn't broken down--

In my experience, most harnesses have felt comfortable at first, but eventually the materials degrade and they have begun to pinch and pull unevenly. But this harness has been designed with supportive tubing that runs the entirety of the waist belt + leg loops, top and bottom. Therefore, the tubing always supports the climber's weight, and the belt never breaks down or pinches in odd ways.

Additionally, the materials are quite durable. I've mostly been sport climbing in this, but have also taken it up desert sandstone routes: corners, chimneys, etc... and all the fabric is still intact- no fraying anywhere.

As I said above, this harness has remained as comfortable as the day I got it more than a year ago- and I've been climbing full-time throughout this period.
