Technician Harness
As a year-round climber, you need gear that withstands both the test of time and the most rugged routes, so you rely on the Black Diamond Men's Technician Harness for every send. From sharp, single-pitch limestone sport routes to hanging by an axe from a frozen waterfall, the Technician's durable Fusion Comfort Technology waistband and leg loops were built to handle the most abrasive conditions while wicking away nervous sweat. Five gear loops and four ice clipper slots hold any sized rack for whatever vertical task you take on next, and adjustable leg loops and waist buckles make it easy to transition from accommodating your extra winter layers while on the ice or your shorts when you're high on the wall clipping bolts.

Great Harness!
Solid in all respects- used for both a sport and a trad 8 pitch. Size up if you are on the high end of the recommended sizing range. My small fits but unfoetunately the left side loops are pretty far around so using the second loop is challenging to use. I do like the 5th loop at the back for chalk, rescue gear, bail maillon, etc. Overall: light yet comfortable and versatile. It should be fine to use indoors on the occasion I do!

Replacement Harness
It has been time to replace my previous harness and as I am looking to be climbing outdoors more I went with this one. So far it has been working well in fit and comfort.

Outside harness
Fits very nicely, now all the troubles of switching gear from gym harness are non existent. Nice to have a set up ready to go at a moments notice.

Good, could be great
It’s a very comfortable harness, but lacks in a couple of small ways. My last BD harness (red ice-climbing from little under a decade ago) was about perfect, and if that harness had made a baby with this one, they could have had the perfect harness child. The new one has more comfortable waist and leg bands, and the gear loops are good. However, the straps on the adjustable legs aren’t long enough to be tucked into the little stow-away loop, or the loops are too far away. The harness could also be improved by adding a loop that hangs down in the center of the back, like on the old harness. I liked having both loops in back, so I could keep an anchor on one and my rappel stuff on the other. A small grevience perhaps, but I became very accustomed to having that set up just so. Now I’ve got them both on the same loop, which makes it just a bit more fumbly. Overall though, it’s a nice harness and good for trad and multi pitch at a very reasonable price. I’m happy I bought it.

Amazing and Stylish Harness
I bought this for my climbing gym and future ice. It is comfortable, durable, and doesn't get in the way. I love the blue compliment with my vapor helmet. I appreciate the clipper loops, haul loop, and adjustable leg loops. Super nice all-around harness.

Multi-Use Harness
Nice, lightweight harness. Good for trad/sport. I like the addition of the extra gear loop in the back.

The Do it all Harness
Perfectly from hard redpoints to 15+ multis. only complaint is that if your carrying 24 draws and 10 alpines your gear loops can get quite full, an unlikely problem for a lot of people but worth mentioning.

Great all-around & trad harness
Pros: -Excellent balance of racking space, comfort, weight & packability. -The large 5th gear loop is extremely nice to have for trad & multi-pitch. -BD's 4 pressure-molded gear loops are very easy to clip. I dislike when companies compromise the back two gear loops by making them not rigid to save weight. That may be fine for sport focused harnesses but not what I want for a trad harness. I was closely considering the new Petzl Aquila but decided against it, partially because it suffers from this issue. Cons: -Needs a second loop to better manage the extra tail of the waist belt and even the legs loops. I am in between sizes and decided to try the larger size because I liked how it kept the gear loops more forward/easier to access, and for layering, but in turn this means I have a lot of extra tail on the waist belt and leg loops. Other harnesses offer a second loop to better manage excess tail. -It would be great if the two back gear loops were the same larger size as the front two. - The 5th gear loop is a bit difficult to see since it's black and a narrow gauge cord. I would prefer it to be a bright color.
