As an Adventure Racing rappelling harness the XLH is perfect. It is ultra light and compact, comfortable to run in and is adequate for the short rappels, traverses or climbs required in AR. It's low bulk makes it comfortable to wear under ski pants for ski mountaineering. The only down side is that the very narrow leg straps tend to cut in when taking your full weight during a rappel. I found leaning back and taking more weight on the waist helped.

The Black Diamond ATC is required equipment in most Adventure Races for a few simple reasons; It is easy to operate, lightweight, compact and doesn't destroy or twist ropes. The package is extremely good value with the locking carabiner but I wish they would have packaged it with a smaller lighter locking carabiner.
