"Great alpine harness that's OK for sport too" - Review of Black Diamond Alpine Bod Harness

The alpine bod's strengths are that it can be easily put on and taken off while dressed in winter gear—especially crampons—and it's cheap. The leg loops never get twisted around, and you can stay clipped into the waist loop but get out of the leg loops when nature calls. This is a utilitarian harness with gear loops and a haul loop that is surprisingly comfortable. I use mine at the climbing gym, but would go for something more substantial if I had to climb a big wall and spend a lot of time hanging.
