Almost ten years in the making, this harness is the result of new Safe-Tech technology which strives to eliminate operator error. Wherever possible, each component of this harness has been engineered to withstand a 10- kilonewton load. Wide, supportive waistband with Safe-Tech buckle still holds up to 10 kN even if you forget to double-pass through the buckle. Non-directional tie-in points maintain their strength even if the rope is routed incorrectly. Patented 3-D™ system adjusts rise length and leg size to keep you upright and in balance in a fall. Four Spectra® gear loops carry a 10 kN strength rating in case of an accidental clipping error. Rear haul loop has a 16-kN strength rating.

Voted 4/5 | I like this harness very much. It has served me well while climbing rock and ice. The adjustments are all smooth and the padding is sufficient for hanging while waitning for that next pitch. I gave it 4 stars because I have not used other harnesses. | | Posted Jan 8, 2006 3:34 pm |

Voted 5/5 | Awesome harness. Everything is bomber. You could tie into one of the gear loops and it would hold (but don't). Have used it on rock, ice and alpine and not one complaint. | | Posted Jan 24, 2006 3:28 pm |

Voted 5/5 | Very comfortable. My first harness, I had no inclination to take it off during a recent 3-day trip to Smith Rock. And hell for stout. | | Posted May 28, 2007 12:43 pm |
| nothingmuch | Nice | | Hasn't voted | I bought this harness because it seemed adjustable, reasonably comfortable and idiot proof, which seemed like good choices for a beginner. Overall I'm very happy with this choice. The only complaint I have is that the gear loops are thick and stiff and stick out horizontally, which made it difficult to layer over. I imagine that gear loops pointing downwards would be more convenient for my needs (I don't know to trad climb yet).
Out of curiosity I tried tying in to the gear loops and falling roughly 1m on a static rope close to the floor. It held, as advertized, but it is very uncomfortable to be yanked from the side. | | Posted May 28, 2007 7:17 pm |
| mrauthentic616rm2 | Awesome. | | 
Voted 5/5 | Completely bomber. Comfortable. However heavy and the front gear loops are a little to close to the buckle. My cams tend to end up in my crotch. But overall a fail proof harness. | | Posted May 1, 2008 6:03 pm |
