Black Diamond Chaos Harness

Item #BLD1264 | 23 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Great Harness

By Ranked #113 - Men's Harnesses May 25, 2011

I have the older version of this harness (Black Diamond says its only a different color, no other changes)
The harness is great and I like the fact that it is a molded shape. It fits very well and is great to belay, climb, and hang in.
I have also worn the high end Arcteryx R300 harness.
The R300 wins in comfort, but only by a bit
I prefer the Chaos gear loops, although not as big, they are better to clip
I also like the fact that the haul loop is burly and full strength on the Chaos

The Chaos wins for me, because it cost me less money, but if I were doing more alpine routes or long approaches I would have kept the R300
