Relief for my Woes

By brent Ranked #16 - Men's Harnesses January 27, 2012

I upgraded from a lighter 'alpine' style harness to the BD Momentum about a month ago and its comfort is very noticible in my. . package area. . It has been thanking me ever since and I haven't looked back.

The Medium is cranked all the way on my 30-ish inch waist and fits pretty close to perfect. The padding is a bit heavier than I'm used to in the waist belt, but it feels pretty good to hang in and take some swings or whippers. Leg adjustments are super easy and the TrakFit style feels secure and keeps the loops in place and comfortable for belaying or hanging. There is a noticible thick strip of webbing in the middle of the leg loops that could cause some pressure points for your legs if you're hanging for a bit.

Most importantly the positioning of the leg loops and padding feels great for my inner "thigh" area. I never really get pinched anymore or have any unexpected "pressure" that causes my knees to buckle like my old harness could, and would. Definitely takes some of the stress out of catching whippers. . Phew.

I'm also pretty convinced at this point that the sizing, dimensions, padding, etc are all exactly the same between the Women's version (Primrose) and the Men's. The only true difference seems to be in the colors.

Super happy so far with the durability, Sulfur (Nose Gold) color, fit/feel, and functionality of this harness. Especially versus my old one (Climb-X Warrior). Very Breathable!
