Voted 5/5 | I just got this baby and I hung in it at the store. I was floored at how comfortable this harness is even though its thin. It is easily 10x more comfy than my BD Momentum. Plus, it weighs next to NOTHING! I'll be using it this Saturday on a 4 pitch alpine route on Longs Peak. I'll report more after the climb...stay tuned.
Edit: Ended up climbing the North Face Route instead of Dialogue on Zen. Even though it was only 1 roped pitch of climbing on the entire route, this harness worked very well. I'm a size 32" waist and I bought this harness in a medium. Even over my base layer, a t-shirt, a thin fleece shirt and my gore-tex shell, the harness fit perfectly. The leg loops were large enough too. On my legs I wore a base layer and Patagonia Winter Guide pants. The harness racked gear well and I felt like I wasn't wearing a harness. Only gripe: if you put your BD ice clippers in this harness and then don't have screws on them, they'll rotate and flip on you. No big deal, but they can interfere with your packs waist belt when rotated. The last gripe is that when the waist belt is extended over several layers of clothing, it causes the back gear loop on your left to be pretty far back around your waist, almost to the point that you can't reach it. I guess you could rack the "not vital during the climbing" gear on that loop i.e. anchor building material that you can access once your pack is removed atop the pitch. Over all a great harness! | | Posted Sep 4, 2008 10:32 pm |

Hasn't voted | Lightest, most comfortable, best featured harness I've owned. The adjustable leg loops were a must for me, the the 350a was hard to track down locally - but well worth it. Its made for winter mountaineering & Ice, so be sure to buy big enough for bulk layers... | | Posted Nov 21, 2008 9:42 pm |
