Passing Love

By Shane O'Donnell Ranked #150 - Men's Harnesses May 11, 2010

I used this harness as I was starting out climbing, because it came relatively cheap, and was pretty comfortable to sit in for a minute or two. I had it for a year, and over that time lost enough weight to need a smaller size, so the XL I had wouldn't fit anymore. I tried my friends exact same harness in the L and it just didn't ever feel comfortable. I didn't like the leg loops for longer hangs, as it dug in but at least never rode up. I will still give it 4/5 since it is a really good harness, and perfect for a budget or entry level climber. The gear loops are solid and stay in a very good spot for grabbing draws. The buckles are effective at doubling back, but I wish that there was an easy marker to show your partner you had it proper, like some harnesses that say danger or have red. I put red tape on mine for a good visual, and since it is now my spare/loaner harness.
