This harness is superb

I'm very happy with this harness. After I bought my sister the Primrose AL for her birthday, I decided to pick up the male version for myself because I was so impressed with the shape and design of hers. The harness that I was using before was an old Mammut gig that I bought in one of those starter packages (harness, chalk back, belay device and locking biner) way back when I was in high school. I don't want to knock Mammut harnesses because I understand they make some wonderful products (and I'm pretty sure that they stopped making the terrible harness that I bought years ago), but my new BD harness is about half the weight, far more comfortable, and it doesn't scare the living daylights out of me every time I lean back to the sound of the velcro joining the front padding together ripping, making me think the harness is coming undone. The gear loops are much burlier on this harness, giving me the confidence to clip my new expensive cams to them, and I love the full strength haul loop--it gives that extra assurance and also flexibility for certain advanced rescue scenarios. All in all I'm very happy that I upgraded to a new harness, especially since I now have my old one as a spare for lending out to new climbers.
